| John 19:17 | *And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew, Golgotha: Matthew 27:33.; Mark 15:22.; Luke 23:33. | St. John makes no mention of what took place on the way to Calvary, when Jesus, being worn out by fatigue, could not proceed any farther, and they were obliged to relieve him of his burden, and to give it to a man, named Simon, of Cyrene, to carry for him, as is related in (Matthew 27:32.; Mark 15:21.) (Calmet) --- For the honour paid in the early ages to the holy cross see St. Cyril, lib. VI. cont. Julian.; St. Jerome, ep. XVII.; St. Paulin. ep. XI. |
