Concept:Simon of Cyrene was the man compelled by the Roman soldiers to carry the cross of Jesus on the way to His crucifixion.
Explanation:After His trial, Jesus was led away to be crucified.
His weakened physical condition, caused by the severe scourging, made it difficult for Him to carry the cross.
The Roman soldiers then compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, to carry the cross behind Jesus.
This event is recorded in the Synoptic Gospels: Matthew 27:32, Mark 15:21, and Luke 23:26.
