Mark 15:16-24

16 1The soldiers took Him away into 2the 3palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they called together the whole Roman 4 5cohort. 17They dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; 18and they began to acclaim Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19They kept beating His head with a 6reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him. 20After 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 7They pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and 8Rufus), to bear His cross.

22 9Then they brought Him to the place 10Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23They tried to give Him 11wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24And they crucified Him, and 12divided up His garments among themselves, casting 13lots for them to decide 14what each man should take.
