The Crucifixion of Christ The Son of God was delivered to the people to be crucified; with shouts of triumph they led the dear Saviour away. He was weak and faint from weariness, pain, and loss of blood by the scourging and blows which He had received; yet the heavy cross upon which He was soon to be nailed was laid upon Him. Jesus fainted beneath the burden. Three times the cross was placed upon His shoulders, and three times He fainted. One of His followers, a man who had not openly professed faith in Christ, yet believed on Him, was next seized. Upon him the cross was laid, and he bore it to the fatal spot. Companies of angels were marshaled in the air above the place. A number of Christ's disciples followed Him to Calvary, in sorrow, and with bitter weeping. They called to mind His triumphal ride into Jerusalem but a few days before, when they had followed Him, crying, “Hosanna in the highest!” and strewing their garments and the beautiful palm branches in the way. They had thought…
"And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross."
EGW's description of Jesus fainting under the cross and Simon of Cyrene being compelled to carry it directly alludes to Matthew 27:32.
"Satan's rage was great as he saw that all the cruelty which he had led the Jews to inflict on Jesus had not called forth from Him the slightest murmur. Although He had taken upon Himself man's nature, He was sustained by a Godlike fortitude, and departed not in the least from the will of His Father. EW 175.1"
"He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."
The EGW passage directly alludes to the idea that Jesus did not murmur or complain, even when afflicted. This is a direct reference to Isaiah 53:7, which states that he opened not his mouth.
"For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me."
The EGW passage highlights Jesus' unwavering commitment to the Father's will, even amidst suffering, which directly reflects the principle stated in John 6:38.
