Luke 23:25-27

Living Bible

²⁵ And he released Barabbas, the man in prison for insurrection and murder, at their request. But he delivered Jesus over to them to do with as they would.

²⁶ As the crowd led Jesus away to his death, Simon of Cyrene, who was just coming into Jerusalem from the country, was forced to follow, carrying Jesus’ cross. ²⁷ Great crowds trailed along behind, and many grief-stricken women.
