The Story of the Cross - Day 9 Simon of Cyrene (Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26) It was a common practice by the Romans to have the one condemned to death to carry the cross beam to which their hands would be nailed to the place of their death. Jesus was beaten so badly, He was unable to do so. The Roman soldiers commanded an onlooker, Simon of Cyrene, to carry the cross for Jesus. Simon, probably for fear of his own life, obeyed the orders. This is all we know about this man from Cyrene.
