^17 (A)They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, ^[a](B)bearing His own cross, to the place called ^(C)the Place of a Skull, which is called ^(D)in ^[b]Hebrew, Golgotha. ¹⁸ There they crucified Him, and with Him ^(E)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, “^(F)JESUS THE NAZARENE, ^(G)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 ^(H)in ^[c]Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. ²¹ So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘^(I)The King of the Jews;’ but that He said, ‘I am ^(J)King of the Jews.’” ²² Pilate answered, “^(K)What I have written I have written.”

²³ Then ^(L)the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made ^(M)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, “^(N)Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be;” ^(O)this was in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They ^(P)divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast ^[e]lots.”
