5 Bible Verses about Carrying The Cross

Then Jesus said to His disciples, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And they compel a certain Simon, a Cyrenean, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he must take His cross.

And when they were leading Him away, taking a certain Simon, a Cyrenean, coming from the country, they placed the cross on him, to carry it after Jesus.
