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.”

New Living Translation
16 Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
So they took Jesus away. 17 Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha). 18 There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them. 19 And Pilate posted a sign on the cross that read, “Jesus of Nazareth,[a] the King of the Jews.” 20 The place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that many people could read it.
21 Then the leading priests objected and said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’”
22 Pilate replied, “No, what I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24 So they said, “Rather than tearing it apart, let’s throw dice[b] for it.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among themselves and threw dice for my clothing.”[c] So that is what they did.
