'''Simon of Cyrene''' was the man forced by the Romans to carry the [[cross]] of [[Jesus]] as he was taken to his [[crucifixion]]. The incident is recorded only in the three [[Synoptic gospels|Synoptic Gospels]]: [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] 15:21-22, [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] 27:32, and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 23:26. Whereas, the ''Gospel of John'', in John 19:17, does not mention Simon, saying only that Jesus carried the cross himself.
