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:
a“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

And for My clothing they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
Behold Your Mother
25 aNow there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of bClopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and athe disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, b“Woman, behold your son!”
27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her ato his own home.
It Is Finished
28 After this, Jesus,1 knowing that all things were now accomplished, athat the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!”
29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and athey filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.
30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, a“It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
Jesus’ Side Is Pierced
31 aTherefore, because it was the Preparation Day, bthat the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a chigh day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately ablood and water came out.
35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is atrue; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may bbelieve.
36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, a“Not one of His bones shall be broken.”
