The King on a Cross

21 aThen they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.  
22 aAnd they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.  
23 aThen they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.  
24 And when they crucified Him, athey divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.  
25 Now ait was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

<< Mark 15:22   Mark 15:24 >>


Mark 15:23

Wine mingled ... - Matthew says "vinegar." It was probably "wine soured," so that it might be called either. This was the common drink of the Roman soldiers.

Myrrh - See the notes at Matthew 27:34.
