Context of Mark 15:19
17And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited. 18And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage. 20And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him. 21And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.
