Context
The Crucifixion
19:16 Then Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified . So they took Jesus ,
19:17 and carrying his own cross he went out to the place called “The Place of the Skull ” (called in Aramaic Golgotha ).
19:18 There they crucified him along with two others , one on each side , with Jesus in the middle .
19:19 Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross , which read : “Jesus the Nazarene , the king of the Jews .”
19:20 Thus many of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city , and the notice was written in Aramaic , Latin , and Greek .
19:21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate , “Do not write , ‘The king of the Jews ,’ but rather, ‘This man said , I am king of the Jews .’”
19:22 Pilate answered , “What I have written , I have written .”
19:23 Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus , they took his clothes and made four shares , one for each soldier , and the tunic remained. (Now the tunic was seamless , woven from top to bottom as a single piece .)
19:24 So the soldiers said to one another , “Let’s not tear it , but throw dice to see who will get it .” This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, “They divided my garments among them , and for my clothing they threw dice .” So the soldiers did these things .
19:25 Now standing beside Jesus ’ cross were his mother , his mother’s sister , Mary the wife of Clopas , and Mary Magdalene .
19:26 So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother , “Woman , look , here is your son !”
19:27 He then said to his disciple , “Look , here is your mother !” From that very time the disciple took her into his own home .
