    • 5:41

      compels you into service: A reference to the compulsory service that the Roman authorities could demand from a citizen. They could, for example, press men or animals into service or commandeer whatever was considered necessary to expedite official business. That is what happened to Simon of Cyrene, whom Roman soldiers “compelled into service” to carry Jesus’ torture stake.​—Mt 27:32.

      mile: Probably the Roman mile, measuring 1,479.5 m (4,854 ft).​—See Glossary and App. B14.
