Mark 15:21 Context
19And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit vpon him, and bowing their knees, worshipped him. 20And when they had mocked him, they tooke off the purple from him, and put his owne clothes on him, and led him out to crucifie him. 21And they compell one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, comming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to beare his Crosse. 22And they bring him vnto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull. 23And they gaue him to drinke, wine mingled with myrrhe: but he receiued it not.
