Luke 23:23-27

But they were insistent, with loud voices, demanding that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.

And so Pilate decided to have their demand carried out.

And he released the man for whom they were asking, who had been thrown into prison for a revolt and murder; but he handed Jesus over to their will. Simon Carries the Cross

And when they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, as he was coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.

Now following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and grieving for Him.
