And they pressed a certain Simon of Cyrene, who was passing by, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, so that he might take up his cross. 

And they brought him onto the ‘Golgotha place’ , which is translated ‘Skull Place’, and they gave him wine ‘flavoured with myrrh’. But he did not drink it.

And they crucified him:
and they divided his clothes between themselves
casting lots for them, who should take what. (Ps 22:18)

It was the third hour when they crucified him. 

And there was an inscription of the charge against him written: The King of the Jews.

And with him, they crucified two brigands, one on the right and one on his left. 

And those who passed by were blaspheming him, shaking their heads and saying : ‘Ha, the one who was tearing down the temple and building it in three days – let him save himself – come down from the cross!’

Likewise the chief priests made fun among themselves, with the scholars, saying : ‘He saved others, he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross and we will believe.’

Those crucified with him also were insulting him.

Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.

Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
