Could be a parable, the details are certainly fluid in Scripture:
Matthew 27 (KJV)
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
John 19 (KJV)
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
In a miracle greater than the Resurrection, Jesus simultaneously did and did not carry His cross unaided.
Unless, of course, He was crucified TWICE.
Biblical evidence for a Thursday AND a Friday crucifixion is certainly compelling. God cared enough to allow the boy to be nailed twice.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
