The Roman Soldiers took Jesus from Gabbatha (approximately where the Church of Condemnation is located) to Golgotha, just outside of the Sheep Gate (where today the Lion's gate is). This is only 200 meters. For these 200 meters Jesus carried the cross himself. As they went outside the gate, they forced Simon of Cyrene to carry his cross up the steep slope of Golgotha. The slope of Golgotha starts immediately as you exit the gate, as testified to by John: And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Joh 19,17 The other three Gospels testify that as Jesus went outside they forced Simon to carry his cross. Therefore John is correct in stating that Jesus carried his cross to Golgotha, for as soon as he went through the gate, he was at the base of Golgotha. There were many different people having very great differences concerning their perspective of Jesus. By far the majority of the people were in unity with the High Priest and wanted that Jesus be crucified. Just minutes before the whole crowd cried out, 'crucify him, crucify him'. Of the twelve, only John walked this road with Jesus to Golgotha, together with some women from Galilee, including his mother and his brothers. For them this must have been very heart breaking. They must have been more than mortified to see him so shamefully crucified. David himself foretold this.
Luke 23:33 Jesus' cross is on Calvary. The place is called Golgotha which it is a place of a skull in Matt. 27:33.
