John did not carry the cross at all, although he was present at the Crucifixion - the only disciple who did not abandon Jesus. The cross was carried by Jesus himself, as was the custom, until he was so exhausted that he fell from the weight. Then we are told that a foreigner visiting Jerusalem, Simon of Cyrene, was commanded to carry it by the Roman guards there for the last stretch up to the Place of the Skull where Jesus was crucified. Incidentally, when we hear of the 'cross' being carried, this was actually the cross-bar and not the whole cross. The cross-bar would have been carried across the shoulders so that the rough hewn wood would dig into the flayed and wounded back (caused by the savage whipping where chunks of flesh would be removed during the process) so that the maximum pain could be infllicted. Carrying (or dragging) a full cross like you see in Hollywood movies was not the practice of the Romans and never really happened. For one thing, crosses were usually in two parts - an upright and a crossbeam (which was carried), and secondly, just dragging a cross over one shoulder is much less exhausing and easier on a wounded back than carrying a crossbeam across the victim's shoulders, which would have been agony. The Romans were very clever people, wonderful architects, engineers, politician, artists and so on... but they were also astonishingly cruel.

What is now the present day Golgotha?
The most important thing which happened at Golgotha? Jesus died here for the sins of the world. This is the most important incident that has ever happened on the earth.Because it was so important, there were a number of other references to it.Golgotha is the place where Abraham sacrificed his Son Isaac. The LORD himself pointed it out to him after he traveled three days.And he said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mounts which I will tell you of.Gen 22,2Abraham knew where the land of Moriah was. But the LORD himself would point out the mount on which he would sacrifice his son Isaac.Issac carried the wood on his back to this mount, foretelling Jesus carrying the wood on his back. On this mount Golgotha (JHWH Jireh) two oaths were given. First, his descendants would be bountiful and victorious and second, that through his seed (Jesus and his disciples) all the nations of the earth would be blessed.Describing the mount,And Abraham called the name of that place JHWH Jireh as it is said to this day, In the mount the LORD is seen. Gen 22,14In its appearance the LORD is seen, for it appears as the top part of the head. While there were thickets there, it was well groomed. But later it was bald and was named 'Golgotha', or 'Place of a skull'. In this way the LORD is seen in the mount.But even more so, its name is 'JHWH Jireh'. This means 'The LORD sees'. And what is the head looking at? The north side of the Altar and the temple entrance! (Lev 1,3+11) They were before the LORD, him personified by the mount looking in this way.And what else happened with Golgotha? Eight of the nine Red Heifers were sacrificed on the mount of Olives. As the priest sprinkled the blood seven times, it was required that he gaze at the temple entrance (Num 19,4). His view went directly over Golgotha. Thereby the very place on Golgotha where Jesus would atone for the sins of the world was foretold.And what else happened in this place between Golgotha and the temple? After David sinned and numbered the Israelites, the LORD brought a plague upon Israel by which seventy thousand men died, not including women and children. As the angel of Judgment passed over Golgotha he stopped. Thereby David made an altar directly before him, which was later the place where the altar was built. And on the north side of this altar all sacrifices of animals were made BEFORE THE LORD.On this mount, as Jesus died, there was a great earthquake and the graves opened. And then the temple curtain ripped, being testified by three of the four gospels. As even the non-Jewish Centurion saw this, he believed that Jesus was righteous and the Son of God. This mount by the Lion's Gate is the only place from which the curtain ripping could have been seen, for the temple faced east.At Golgotha Jesus was crucified, dying as a sacrificial Lamb for the sins of the world.

How many steps did it take Jesus to get to Golgotha?
There is no genuine record of how many steps. There is a route in Jerusalem which claims to be the steps to Golgotha, and you can take part in a guided walk of it (and count the steps!) but actually, no one knows for certain where Golgotha was.The best theory i have read is that it was on the Mount of Olives. It was probably omitted by The Spirit of God in the Scriptures, to avoid it becoming a "Shrine".

How high was golgotha?
Golgotha is just as high as Mount Moriah. They are both approx. 731 meters above sea level (measured using a Garmin eTrex). From its southern base, Golgotha rises up from even below the Greek Orthodox St. Stephen Church, certainly over 60 meters.The eastern wall of Jerusalem is Golgotha's western border, From the base of the Lion's gate today to the top of Golgotha it is less than 15 meters. It is very likely in the days of Jesus that the street was a few meters lower than the street today. He would have had to walk up the Mount Golgotha, ascending at the most 17 meters. With a Standard stair step of 18 cm, this would have been about 90 steps. With a story being 20 steps, it would have been equivalent to walking up the stairs to the top of a 4 story building.The walk up the mount itself is somewhat steep (see www.golgotha.eu for pictures). For that reason it is testified to in three of the four gospels, that as they went through the gate leading outside of Jerusalem, that they made Simon of Cyrene carry his cross.And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. Matt 27,32But for the distance from Pilate to Golgotha, which is just outside the Lion's Gate (back then the Sheep Gate), Jesus carried his own cross.And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Joh 19,17Jesus carried his cross to Golgotha, but Simon carried it up the steep hill, walking behind him.And as they led Him away, having laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from a field, they put the cross on him, to bear it behind Jesus. Lk 23,26
