Simon » Of cyrene
They forced into service a passer-by coming in from the countryside, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to carry His cross.
Now as they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced into service to carry the cross of Jesus.
When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in [to the city] from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.
