Charles Ellicott Commentary John 19:17

"They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:" — John 19:17 (ASV)

For the way of the cross, compare Matthew 27:31-34; Mark 15:20–23; Luke 23:26–33. For the present passage, compare especially Note on the parallel words in Matthew 27:33.
