1 | Does Isaiah help Christ carry the cross? | Matt 27:32 | newbud | 114185 | ||
Forgive my naivety. I understand the name "Isaiah" to mean "to give strength to" Was the man who helped Christ carry the cross to calvary named Isaiah? I recently saw Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ" Could you tell me what is the significance of the water spewing from Christ's body after being speared by the guard at Calvary? |

2 | Does Isaiah help Christ carry the cross? | Matt 27:32 | jlpangilinan | 114186 | ||
It was simon of cyrene help Jesus Mt 27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. Mt 27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. (6.) A Jew of Cyrene, in North Africa, then a province of Libya. A hundred thousand Jews from Palestine had been settled in this province by Ptolemy Soter (B.C. 323-285), where by this time they had greatly increased in number. They had a synagogue in Jerusalem for such of their number as went thither to the annual feasts. Simon was seized by the soldiers as the procession wended its way to the place of crucifixion as he was passing by, and the heavy cross which Christ from failing strength could no longer bear was laid on his shoulders. Perhaps they seized him because he showed sympathy with Jesus. He was the "father of Alexander and Rufus" (Mt 27:32). Possibly this Simon may have been one of the "men of Cyrene" who preached the word to the Greeks (Ac 11:20). |
