In the time of the Roman occupation of Jerusalem and the Middle East it was custom for a Roman soldier to command a Jewish boy or young man to carry his ‘kit’ for a specified distance. This was like a law which Jesish men/youngmen had to follow. The saying ‘twain’ refers to ‘go the extra mile’, carry the kit for two not just the required one.

No prob and thanks for the explanation MHGinTN. It was very good...short, to the point.
...and the point as taught by our Savior is simple...if you are compelled to go a mile...go a second (or twain). That is what He taught, and I believe He meant for us to do it willingly with a good heart as an example and opportunity to touch hearts.
