The Pulpit Commentary on Hebrews 13:13

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. By a happy turn of thought Christ's having suffered without the gate is viewed as representing his exclusion from the Jewish Church and polity, outside which we are now to follow him, though we with him be reproached by the Jews as outcasts.

There may be a tacit reference, such as Bengel sees in the word φέροντες, to our bearing our cross after him.
