John 19:17-24
Legacy Standard Bible
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.”

Revised Standard Version
The Crucifixion of Jesus
17 So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Gol′gotha. 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom; 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfil the scripture,
“They parted my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.”
