§ 163. JESUS ON THE WAY TO THE CROSS (VIA DOLOROSA) ON GOLGOTHAa

Before 9 A.M. Friday

Mark 15:20-23Matt. 27:31-34Luke 23:26-33John 19:16-17
20 And when
they had mocked
him, they took
off from him
the purple, and
put on him his
garments. And
they lead him
out to crucify
him.
21 And they
2compel one
passing by,
Simon of Cyrene,
coming from
the country,
the father of
Alexander and
Rufus, to go
with them, that
he might bear
his cross.







22 And
they bring him
unto the place
Golgotha,
which is, being
interpreted,
The place of a
skull. 23 And
they offered
him wine
mingled with
myrrh: but he
received it not. 		31 And when
they had mocked
him, they took
off from him
the robe, and
put on him his
garments, and
led him away
to crucify him.
32 And as they
came out, they
found a man
of Cyrene,
Simon by name:
him they
1compelled to go
with them, that
he might bear
his cross.







33 And
when they
were come unto
a place called
Golgotha,
that is to say,
The place of a
skull, 34 they
gave him wine
to drink
mingled with gall
[see Ps. 69:21]:
and when he
had tasted it,
he would not
drink.

26 And when
they led him
away, they laid
hold upon one
Simon of
Cyrene, coming
from the country,
and laid
on him the
cross, to bear
it after Jesus.
27 And there
followed him a
great multitude
of the
people, and of
women who
bewailed and
lamented him.
28 But Jesus
turning unto them
said, Daughters
of Jerusalem,
weep not
for me, but
weep for your-
selves, and for
your children.
29 For behold, the
days are coming,
in which
they shall say,
Blessed are the
barren, and the
wombs that
never bare, and
the breasts that
never gave
suck. 30 Then
shall they
begin to say to
the mountains,
Fall on
us; and to the
hills, Cover us
[see Hos. 10:8].
31 For if they
do these things
in the green
tree, what shall
be done in the
dry?
32 And there
were also two
others,
malefactors, led
with him to be
put to death.
33 And when
they came unto
the place
which is called
3The skull, 		16 They took
Jesus therefore:
17 and he went
out, bearing the
cross for
himself,








unto the
place called
The place of a
skull, which
is called in
Hebrew
Golgotha:
