Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Matthew 27:32

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they (m) compelled to bear his cross.

(m) They compelled Simon to bear his burdensome cross, by which it appears that Jesus was so poorly handled before that he fainted along the way, and was not able to bear his cross the whole distance: for John writes that he did bear the cross, that is, at the beginning.
