John 19:16-24
New American Standard Bible
The Crucifixion
16 So he then (A)handed Him over to them to be crucified.
17 (B)They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, [a](C)carrying His own cross, to the place called (D)the Place of a Skull, which (E)in [b]Hebrew is called, Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him (F)two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 Now 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, because 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’; rather, write 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 outer garments and made (N)four parts: a part to each soldier, and the [d]tunic also; but the tunic was seamless, woven [e]in one piece. 24 So they said to one another, “(O)Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be.” (P)This happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They (Q)divided My garments among themselves, and they cast [f]lots for My clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

The Crucifixion
16 So he then (A)handed 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 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 outer garments and made (N)four parts, a part to every soldier and also the [d]tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven [e]in one piece. 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 to fulfill the Scripture: “They (Q)divided My outer garments among them, and for My clothing they cast [f]lots.”
