Mark 15: 20-24   When they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the purple robe, put His clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him. They forced a passer-by coming in from the country to carry His cross--Simon, a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus.  And they brought Him to the place called Golgotha (which means Skull Place). They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it. Then they crucified Him and divided His clothes, casting lots for them to decide what each would get.
