Mark 15:23

21 Now Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and the soldiers forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

22 They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24 And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25 It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
