* And he went out , bearing his cross , to the place called [place ] of a skull , which is called in Hebrew , Golgotha ; * where they crucified him , and with him two others , [one ] on this side , and [one ] on that , and Jesus in the middle . * And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross . But there was written : Jesus the Nazaraean , the King of the Jews . * This title therefore many of the Jews read , for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near ; and it was written in Hebrew , Greek , Latin . * The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate , Do not write , The king of the Jews , but that he said , I am king of the Jews . * Pilate answered , What I have written , I have written . * The soldiers therefore , when they had crucified Jesus , took his clothes , and made four parts , to each soldier a part , and the body-coat ; but the body-coat was seamless , woven through the whole from the top . * They said therefore to one another , Let us not rend it , but let us cast lots for it , whose it shall be ; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says , They parted my garments among themselves , and on my vesture they cast lots . The soldiers therefore did these things . * And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother , and the sister of his mother , Mary the [wife ] of Clopas , and Mary of Magdala . * Jesus therefore , seeing his mother , and the disciple standing by , whom he loved , says to his mother , Woman , behold thy son . * Then he says unto the disciple , Behold thy mother . And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home .
