Luke 23:26
See the notes at Matthew 27:32.
After Jesus - Probably to bear one end of the cross. Jesus was feeble and unable to bear it alone, and they compelled Simon to help him.
24 So aPilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.
25 aAnd he released1 to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
The King on a Cross
26 aNow as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 aFor indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’
31 aFor if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”
32 aThere were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.
33 And awhen they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
34 1Then Jesus said, “Father, aforgive them, for bthey do not know what they do.” And cthey divided His garments and cast lots.
35 And athe people stood looking on. But even the brulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”
