Thematic Bible: A man from the city of cyrene


Thematic Bible



One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.

Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled to carry His cross,

As soon as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenaean, who was coming in from the country, and on his shoulders they put the cross, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
