Mark 15:19-24

19And they struck him on the head with a reed stick, spit on him, and dropped to their knees in mock worship.

20When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.

21A passerby named Simon, who was from Cyrene, was coming in from the countryside just then, and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus’ cross. (Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus.)

22And they brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha (which means “Place of the Skull”).

23They offered him wine drugged with myrrh, but he refused it.

24Then the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They divided his clothes and threw dice to decide who would get each piece.
