John 19:16-24

The Crucifixion
16 So he then (A)delivered Him over to them to be crucified.
17 (B)They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, [a](C)bearing His own cross, to the place called (D)the Place of a Skull, which is called (E)in [b]Hebrew, Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him (F)two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 And Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “(G)JESUS THE NAZARENE, (H)THE KING OF THE JEWS.” 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written (I)in [c]Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘(J)The King of the Jews;’ but that He said, ‘I am (K)King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “(L)What I have written I have written.”
23 Then (M)the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made (N)four parts, a part to each soldier and also His [d]tunic; now that tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to one another, “(O)Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be;” (P)this was in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They (Q)divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast [e]lots.”

16 Then he handed him over to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
Then they took Jesus away.[a] 17 Carrying(A) the cross by himself,(B) he went out to what is called Place of the Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate also had a sign made and put on the cross. It said: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(C) and it was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The king of the Jews,’(D) but that he said, ‘I am the king of the Jews.’”
22 Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, a part for each soldier. They also took the tunic, which was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” This happened that the Scripture(E) might be fulfilled(F) that says: They divided my clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing.[b](G) This is what the soldiers did.
