bwe - Mark:15:21-32

bwe@Mark:15:21 @ man was coming in from the farms. His name was Simon. He was born in the country of Cyrene. Alexander and Rufus were his sons. The soldiers caught Simon and made him carry Jesus cross.

bwe@Mark:15:22 @ They took Jesus to Golgotha. That means the place of a head bone.

bwe@Mark:15:23 @ They wanted Jesus to drink wine mixed with something bitter. But Jesus would not drink it.

bwe@Mark:15:24 @ Then they nailed him to a cross. They gambled to see how they should divide Jesus clothes.

bwe@Mark:15:25 @ It was nine oclock in the morning when they nailed him on the cross.

bwe@Mark:15:26 @ They put the complaint they had against him above Jesus head. It was, The King of the Jews.

bwe@Mark:15:27 @ They also nailed two bad men on crosses there. One was put on the right side of Jesus and one was put on the left side of Jesus.

bwe@Mark:15:28 @ The holy writings say, He was counted as one of the bad people. It came true.

bwe@Mark:15:29 @ The people who passed by said wrong things about him. They shook their heads and said, Ha, ha! You are the man who said you could break down the temple and build it again in three days.

bwe@Mark:15:30 @ Save yourself and come down from the cross.

bwe@Mark:15:31 @ The chief priests and the scribes also made fun of him. He saved other people, but he cannot save himself!

bwe@Mark:15:32 @ If he is the Christ, the king of the people of Israel, he should come down from the cross now. We want to see it and believe! The bad men who were also nailed to crosses said the same things to him.
