Mark 15:21-27 English Standard Version (ESV)

21. And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

22. And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull).

23. And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.

24. And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.

25. And it was the third hour when they crucified him.

26. And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.”

27. And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.
