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.
Like a choirboy at a weekend retreat!
About the only way of resolving this contradiction in Scripture is to go with Jesus being crucified twice, once on Thursday, and again on Friday. I'd assume He had help carrying the cross on the second go round as the crucifixion the day before probably tuckered Him out.
Sadly, Scripture is silent on whether or not there were choirboys at either crucifixion.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
