Matthew 27:32-34
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
32 And while going forth, they found a Cyrenian[a] man, Simon by name. They pressed this one into service in order that he might take-up His cross. 33 And having come to a place being called Golgotha[b] (which is meaning “The Place of a Skull”), 34 they gave Him wine having been mixed with gall[c] to drink. And having tasted it, He did not want to drink.
