The word cross is mentioned 28 times in KJV and 46 times in NIV so the count depends on which translation you use. The word "cross" may refer to the Roman form of execution or be used as a verb, for example, to cross a lake so the context is important.


As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.

- Matthew 27:32 (NIV)


When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.

- Matthew 8:18 (NIV)
