John 19:19-27

Goodspeed(i) 19 Pilate had written a placard and had it put on the cross; it read "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews." 20 Many of the Jews read this placard, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. 21 So the Jewish high priests said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The king of the Jews,' but write 'He said, I am the king of the Jews.' " 22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written!" 23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier, besides his shirt. Now his shirt had no seam; it was woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24 So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us draw for it, to see who gets it." This was to fulfil what the Scripture says: "They divided my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots." This was what the soldiers did. 25 Near Jesus' cross stood his mother and her sister Mary, the daughter of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. 26 So Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, said to his mother, "There is your son!" 27 Then he said to his disciple, "There is your mother!" And from that time his disciple took her into his home.
