But when Jesus discerned their innermost thoughts, he took a child, had him stand by his side,

Thus they were unable in the presence of the people to trap him with his own words. And stunned by his answer, they fell silent.

As they led him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country. They placed the cross on his back and made him carry it behind Jesus.

Then they watched him carefully and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They wanted to take advantage of what he might say so that they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
