4. 20"And after they had mocked Him, they
took the purple off Him, and put His
garments on Him. And they led Him out to
crucify Him.
21And they pressed into service a passer-
by coming from the country, Simon of
Cyrene (the father of Alexander and
Rufus), to bear His cross."
5. Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for everyone,
And there’s a cross for me.

7. an ancient Greek city in Northern Africa
…now the coast of Libya
represented the limits of the known world
for Jews and the Roman Empire.
Travel from Cyrene to Jerusalem (900
miles) = month+ and was dangerous…
Simon is coming into the city as Yeshua’s
marching out to Calvary
