JESUS was hurried to Calvary amid the shouts and jeers of the crowd. As He passed the gate of Pilate's court, the heavy cross which had been prepared for Barabbas was laid upon His bruised and bleeding shoulders. Crosses were placed also upon two thieves, who were to suffer death at the same time with Jesus.

The load was too heavy for the Saviour in His weary, suffering condition.

He staggered on a few steps, and again fell to the ground as one lifeless. More on Way to Calvary
