How far did Jesus carry the cross to Calvary?
It is 0.3 kilometers (800 meters/half mile) from Pontius Pilate’s court to the traditionally accepted site of the crucifixion Golgotha, which means “the Place of the Skull.” We really don’t know how far Jesus carried the cross because Simon of Cyrene was pulled from the crowd to carry it for him. Also, the precise path Jesus took through Jerusalem is not recorded in the Bible.

How much did the cross weight that Jesus had to carry?
There are many historians that have researched the answer to this question, and an average cross weighed about 300 pounds, they were massive and made out of extremely heavy wood. The condemned was forced to carry the crossbeam on his shoulders to the place of execution. but the crossbeam would not be quite as burdensome, weighing around 75–125 pounds (35–60 kg). Upright posts would presumably be fixed permanently in place, and the crossbeam, with the condemned person perhaps already nailed to it, would then be attached to the post.
Jesus’ final hours on the cross lasted from approximately 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m., a period of about six hours.
