VIII:  Jesus is Helped by Simon of Cyrene

Scripture:  Mark 15:20-21
And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him.  They pressed into service a passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

The straining muscles in the arm of Simon serve to complement the growing weakness in the body of Jesus.
