Matthew 27:31-33

Context
27:31 When 1  they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes back on him. Then 2  they led him away to crucify him.

The Crucifixion

27:32 As 3  they were going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced 4  to carry his cross. 5  27:33 They 6  came to a place called Golgotha 7  (which means “Place of the Skull”) 8 

Hebrews 13:11-14

Context
13:11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood the high priest brings 9  into the sanctuary as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp. 13:12 Therefore, to sanctify the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp. 13:13 We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced. 10  13:14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

[27:31]  1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[27:31]  2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[27:32]  3 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:32]  5 sn Jesus was beaten severely with a whip before this (the prelude to crucifixion, known to the Romans as verberatio, mentioned in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15; John 19:1), so he would have been weak from trauma and loss of blood. Apparently he was unable to bear the cross himself, so Simon was conscripted to help (in all probability this was only the crossbeam, called in Latin the patibulum, since the upright beam usually remained in the ground at the place of execution). Cyrene was located in North Africa where Tripoli is today. Nothing more is known about this Simon. Mark 15:21 names him as father of two people apparently known to Mark’s audience.

[27:33]  6 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[27:33]  7 tn This is an Aramaic name; see John 19:17.

[27:33]  8 sn A place called Golgotha (which means “Place of the Skull”). This location is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for the Greek term κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” is derived (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

[13:11]  9 tn Grk “whose blood is brought by the high priest.”
