Simon of Cyrene was forced to carry Jesus' cross to the crucifixion site. Many people, including women, followed and mourned for Jesus. At the crucifixion site, Jesus was crucified between two criminals. One criminal insulted Jesus while the other rebuked him and asked Jesus to remember him in paradise, to which Jesus replied that today they would be together in paradise. There was darkness over the land from noon until 3pm, and when Jesus died the temple curtain was torn in two.
