‏ Luke 23:26

 They laid hold ( επιλαβομενο ). Second aorist middle participle of the common verb  επιλαμβανω. The soldiers had no scruples about taking hold of any one of themselves (middle voice). Mr 15:21; Lu 27:32 use the technical word for this process  αγγαρευω, which see for discussion and also about Cyrene.

 Laid on him ( επεθηκαν ).  Κ first aorist of  επιτιθημ.

 To bear it ( φερειν ). Present infinitive, to go on bearing.
