Matthew 27:32 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 27.
28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.
29 And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand and knelt down before Him to mock Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.
31 After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.
32 Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

35 When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.
36 And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
