Mark 15:21  They pressed into service a passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

 

*The way of the cross was difficult for Jesus, and he faltered.  Gatsby had been walking the difficult way for a portion of his life, and now, coming to the end, he begins to feel the affects and falters.
