Jesus was most likely pretty outwardly a mess after His beatings, carrying the cross along the dusty road, and being bloodied from the crucifixion, crown of thorns, as well as the flogging.
I think of how Jesus washed the feet of the disciples to make them "clean". It took a work of Jesus to cleanse them. they needed to allow Him to do so and not object. We, too, should be willing and ready for the cleansing work of Jesus through the Holy Spirit in us.
Next, the recipe for the anointing oil is given. The ingredients are to be compounded, ground or beaten to pulverize them to release the perfume. Jesus was severely beaten before his crucifixion.
The priests are to use the oil to anoint the tabernacle, the ark, the table of shewbread, the utensils, the altar of incense, the altar of sacrifice and its utensils, and the laver. Jesus blood sprinkled upon us is what anoints us and makes us holy before the Father.
The priests are to be anointed with the oil also, to consecrate them for service.
YHWH speaks very straight forwardly, warning the Israelites that this oil is holy and is for Him. It shall not be poured on the flesh of men, nor shall the people make any oil like it in composition. This is a stern warning. The oil appointed by God is for specific purposes and shall not be misused by anyone.
Next, Moses is given the ingredients for incense: stacte, onycha, galbanum, and frankincense and given to a perfumer to compounded. It is to be beaten into a fine powder. Some of it was to be placed before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting. Again, YHWH warns against making this recipe of incense and use it for any other purpose. It is holy incense to the LORD. We should be sure that we bring our prayers to God in a proper way, with reverence, faith, and trust, through the blood and in the name of Jesus. Our prayers arise to the Father as incense. What a beautiful word picture this is as well as an actuality.
In John 19:17 it says that Jesus bore His cross on the way to Golgotha. The other gospels say that Simon was asked to carry it. So, in my understanding, Jesus did carry His cross, but Simon was pressed into service to help Him. At some point, maybe Jesus was too weak to carry it, but I think, since He is God an man, that He did carry it all the way because though weak in his humanity, He had the power in His divinity to carry it all the way. The soldiers asked Simon to help, not Jesus.
Perhaps the cross was carried in two parts, the post and cross piece. So, perhaps Jesus carried one part and Simon carried the other.
Mark 8:34 .....Whosoever will come after me, let him DENY HIMSELF, and take up HIS CROSS daily, and follow me.
John 19:17 And he BEARING HIS CROSS went forth to a place called the skull ....
The CROSS, that Christ bore and the cross we bear is not made of WOOD.
Simon bore the WOODEN CROSS; that sinful flesh DIED ON: Christ cross, and our cross, is much heavier; it takes the KNOWLEDGE of the Father to bear that cross.
In John 19:17 it says that Jesus bore His own cross on the way to Golgotha. Simon, at some point along the way, was pressed into helping to carry the cross.
Perhaps the cross was carried in two pieces, the post and the cross bar and two people were needed to carry both pieces. But in any instance, This passage in Scripture says that Jesus bore His own cross on the way to Golgotha.
As to Jesus being unable to carry it due to being too weak, if Jesus was only human, this could be true. But, since Jesus was also God, He had all the strength He needed to carry His cross all the way to Golgotha despite how weak He was physically in His humanness from the scourging and the beating.

Words for THOUGHT:

John 19:17 And he BEARING HIS CROSS went forth to a place called the skull ....

God Bless YOU!
Beaten beyond human recognition which is why no one wanted to look at
Him and when you work the gospels he never carried the wooden cross
Because he physically could not. Someone of Cyrene was made to carry
The cross for him.
