²⁵ Now ^(A)it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

^38 (A)Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

^34 [a]Then Jesus said, “Father, ^(A)forgive them, for ^(B)they do not know what they do.”

And ^(C)they divided His garments and cast lots.

^19 (A)Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:

JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁰ Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

²¹ Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ’ ”

²² Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

^23 (B)Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. ²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

Therefore the soldiers did these things.

^36 (A)Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

Behold Your Mother

^25 (A)Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of ^(B)Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and ^(C)the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, ^(D)“Woman, behold your son!” ²⁷ Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her ^(E)to his own home.

³⁹ And ^(A)those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, ^(B)“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! ^(C)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the ^[a]scribes and elders, said, ⁴² “He ^(D)saved others; Himself He cannot save. ^[b]If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe ^[c]Him. ^43 (E)He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him ^(A)sour wine, ³⁷ and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

^39 (A)Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, ^[a]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

⁴⁰ But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done ^(B)nothing wrong.” ⁴² Then he said ^[b]to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

⁴³ And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in ^(C)Paradise.”
