tcent - John:19:17-27

tcent@John:19:17 @ And he, bearing his cross, went out to a place called the Place of the Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.

tcent@John:19:18 @ There they crucified him, and two others with him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.

tcent@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. It read:

tcent@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

tcent@John:19:21 @ The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, »Do not write, The King of the Jews, but, This man said, I am King of the Jews.«

tcent@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, »What I have written, I have written.«

tcent@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments, and made four parts, one for each soldier, and also his tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

tcent@John:19:24 @ So they said to one another, »Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be.« This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

tcent@John:19:25 @ By the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

tcent@John:19:26 @ When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he said to his mother, »Woman, behold your son!«

tcent@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, »Behold, your mother!« And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
