Konteks15:21 The soldiers 7 forced 8 a passerby to carry his cross, 9 Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country 10 (he was the father of Alexander and Rufus).
[5:40] 1 tn Grk “They were laughing at him.” The imperfect verb has been taken ingressively.
[5:40] 2 tn Or “threw them all outside.” The verb used, ἐκβάλλω (ekballw), almost always has the connotation of force in Mark.
[5:40] 3 tn Grk “those with him.”
[5:40] 4 tn Grk “into where the child was.”
[10:19] 5 sn A quotation from Exod 20:12-16; Deut 5:16-20, except for do not defraud, which is an allusion to Deut 24:14.

Apparently he was unable to bear the cross himself, so Simon was conscripted to help (in all probability this was only the crossbeam, called in Latin the patibulum, since the upright beam usually remained in the ground at the place of execution). Cyrene was located in North Africa where Tripoli is today. Nothing more is known about this Simon.
[15:21] 10 tn Or perhaps, “was coming in from his field” outside the city (BDAG 15-16 s.v. ἀγρός 1).
