20 When they had finished mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
21 The soldiers forced a passerby to carry his cross, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country (he was the father of Alexander and Rufus).
22 They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha (which is translated, “Place of the Skull”).
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
24 Then they crucified him and divided his clothes, throwing dice for them, to decide what each would take.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26 The inscription of the charge against him read, “The king of the Jews.”
