¹⁶ Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.

¹⁷ And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.

¹⁸ Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁰ This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.

²¹ Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am the King of the Jews.

²² Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.

²³ The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part,) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²⁴ They said then one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things.

²⁵ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.

²⁶ When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.

²⁷ After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.

²⁸ Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.
