* So they took Jesus , who went forth bearing his own cross , to a place called The Place of a Skull - in the Hebrew tongue , Golgotha . * There they crucified him ; and with him two others , one on either side , and Jesus between them . * And Pilate moreover wrote an inscription and placed it above the cross . What he wrote was , "JESUS , THE NAZARENE , KING OF THE JEWS " * This inscription was read by many of the Jews , because the place where they crucified Jesus was near the city , and the inscription was written in Hebrew , Latin , and Greek . * So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate , "Do not write King of the Jews , but He said , I am King of the Jews ." * Pilate answered , "What I have written , I have written !" * After the soldiers had crucified Jesus , they took his garments and divided them into four parts , to each soldier a part , and the tunic . Now the tunic was seamless , woven in one piece from top to bottom ; * so the soldiers said one to another . "Let us not tear it . Let us draw lots , to see whose it shall be " - that the Scripture might be fulfilled . They divided my garments among them , For my raiment did they cast lots . This was what the soldiers did . * Now there stood near the cross of Jesus , his mother and his mothers sister , Mary the wife of Clopas , and Mary Magdalene . * When Jesus saw his mother , and standing near her the disciple whom he loved , he said to his mother , "Woman behold your son ." * Then he said to the disciple , "Behold your mother ." And from that hour the disciple took her to his home .
