Hilary of Poitiers, on Matt 27:31

“And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.”

“For a Jew was not worthy to bear Christ’s cross, but it was reserved for the faith of the Gentiles both to take the cross, and to suffer with Him.”
