John 19:17-30
John 19:17-30 For notes on the Crucifixion, see Matthew 27:33-66. Compare Mark 15:22-47 Lu 23:33-46. I note some additional features given by John.
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 aThen 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:
a“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
a“They divided My garments among them,
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.
