Remigius of Auxerre, 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 this Simon was not a man of Jerusalem, but a foreigner, and denizen, being a Cyrenean; Cyrene is a town of Lybia. Simon is interpreted ‘obedient,’ and a Cyrenean ‘an heir;’ whence he well denotes the people of the Gentiles, which was strange to the testaments of God, but by believing became a fellow-citizen of the saints, of the household, and an heir of God.”
