And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. Christ would not bear it himself; the soldiers saw that he was faint and weary, so they laid the cross, or at least one end of it, on Simon’s shoulders.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. He did not wish to have his sufferings abated, but to bear them to the bitter end. Christ forbids not that pain should be alleviated, in the case of others, wherever that is possible; but, in his own case, it was not fit that it should be so relieved, since he was to bear...

And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
