Mark 15:16-22

Jesus Is Mocked

16 ^aSo the soldiers took Him away into ^bthe ¹palace (that is, the ²Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman ³^ccohort. 17 And they *dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they *put it on Him; 18 and they began to greet Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they kept beating His head with a ¹reed, and spitting on Him; and kneeling, they were bowing down before Him. 20 And after they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him.
21 ^aAnd they *pressed into service a passer-by coming from the countryside, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and ^bRufus), to ¹carry His cross.

The Crucifixion

22 ^aThen they *brought Him to the place ^bGolgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

Simon Carries the Cross

26 ^aAnd when they led Him away, they took hold of a man, Simon of ^bCyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.
27 And following Him was a large multitude of the people, and of women who were ¹^amourning and lamenting Him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, stop crying for Me, but cry for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘^aBlessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ 30 Then they will begin to ^asay to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For if they do these things ¹when the tree is green, what will happen ²when it is dry?”
