Mark 15:20-22

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁰ When they had stopped laughing at him, they took the dark red coat off him. They put his own clothes back on him. Then they took him away to the place where they would kill him on a cross.

The soldiers put Jesus on a cross

²¹ When the soldiers were taking Jesus out to that place, a man called Simon was there. He was coming in from outside the city. He was from the city of Cyrene, and he was the father of Alexander and Rufus. The soldiers told Simon that he must carry Jesus' cross. ²² The soldiers took Jesus to a place that is called Golgotha. (Golgotha means ‘the place of a skull’.)^[a]
