Mark 15:15-22

15Intent on satisfying the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus 1flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

16 2Now the soldiers took Him away into 3the 4palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they called together the whole Roman 5 6cohort. 17And they dressed Him in 7purple, and after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; 18and they began saluting Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19And they repeatedly beat His head with a 8reed and spit on Him, and kneeling, they bowed down before Him. 20And after they had mocked Him, they took the 9purple cloak off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they led Him out to crucify Him.

21 10And they compelled a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and 11Rufus), to carry His cross.

22 12Then they brought Him to the place 13Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
