John 19:18-24
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.
