29 When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it
on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him
and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30 Then they spat on
Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own
clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified. 32 Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross. 33 And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place
of a Skull, 34 they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink.
But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
Commentary
Vs. 29-31 29 When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30 Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.
Their abuse of Jesus continues as they now twist a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and putting a reed in His right hand as a mocked scepter, they bow to their knees before Him and mock Him saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Having done so they begin to spit on Him and taking the reed from Him they strike Him on the head with it (vs. 29-30). Jesus though is silent through this whole horrible scene, and offers no resistance. Having then mocked Him, they take the robe off Jesus and put His own clothes on Him before leading Him away to be crucified.
Vs. 32 “Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.”
Now while bringing Jesus to the Crucifixion site they encounter on the road Simon a man from Cyrene, and with Jesus struggling to carry the cross, (being weakened by their having scourged and beaten Him) they compel Simon to do so.
Vs. 33-34 33 And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
The grime execution processional now arrives at Golgotha, which means, “Place of the Skull.” the crucifixion site where executions were carried out outside the walls of Jerusalem. (This location is also referred to as “Calvary”). This then is the place where Jesus is Crucified; crucified with two other criminals; on one His right hand, one on His left (Luke 23:32-33). Now some of those there will offer Jesus sour wine with gall to drink as a kind of elixir for pain (Luke 23:36; also see Psalm 69:21); however, Jesus when he tasted it would not drink it. The full weight of suffering for ours sins and transgressions then will be felt by Him and Him alone.
