Thematic Bible: Carried by


Thematic Bible



They forced a certain passer-by named Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who happened to be coming in from the country, to carry Jesus' cross.

As they were leaving, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry Jesus' cross.

As they led Jesus away, they grabbed Simon, a man from Cyrene, as he was coming in from the country, and they put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.


Carrying the cross all by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
