18 And they began to greet him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”
19 And they repeatedly struck him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and they knelt down and did obeisance to him.
20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him, and they led him out so that they could crucify him.
21 And they forced a certain man who was passing by, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), who was coming from the country, to carry his cross.
22 And they brought him to the place Golgotha (which is translated “Place of a Skull”).
23 And they attempted to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
24 And they crucified him and divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots for them to see who should take what.
