There are quite a few unknowns, but assuming it was a tree trunk about 12 to 15 feet in length, diameter about 8 to 10 inches, and of course, still green, it could have weighed anywhere from 400 to 800 pounds, possibly even more. (Just a crude guess.)

The cross beam that Christ carried up the hill was said to weigh approx. 80 lbs.

probably about 100 lbs, but being a carpenter, he could lift that weight with no problem. The romans didn't make prisoners carry the whole thing through town, just the crossbeam which would probably be about 8 feet long and 8 inches square

I can estimate that the beam he was carrying was at least 2.5 m long probably 3.0 m., and o.1 m. cross section. probably 0.2 m. square, with an average density of 0.8 gram/cm^3, that would bring the weight to approximately 20 Kg min. to 100 Kg. max.

The same weight as the crosses carried by the other criminals.

not sure...but we do know it was a form of punishment ..so it was probably really heavy to lift up and carry....and it got to the point he was wore out and someone helped him with it!!

The weight of the world and all it's sins past and present. You or I could not have borne it.
