wrote also a title, and put it on the cross. And
the writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE THE KING OF THE JEWS.

(20)This title therefore many of the Jews read; because the place
where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city, and it was written in
Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. (21)Therefore said the chief priests of
the Jews to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said,
I am King of the Jews. (22)Pilate answered: What I have written, I
have written.

(23)Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took his garments,
and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. And
the coat was without a seam, woven from the top throughout. (24)They
said therefore to one another: Let us not rend it, but cast lots for
it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which
says:

They parted my garments among them.
And for my vesture they cast lots.

These things the soldiers did. (25)And there were standing by the
cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of
Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene. (26)Jesus therefore seeing his mother,
and the disciple whom he loved standing by, says to his mother: Woman,

And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

(28)After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, that
the scripture might be accomplished, says: I thirst. (29)Now there was
set a vessel full of vinegar; and they, having filled a sponge with
vinegar, and put it on a hyssop-stalk, bore it to his mouth. (30)When
Jesus therefore received the vinegar, he said: It is finished; and he
bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

(31)The Jews therefore, since it was the preparation, that the bodies
might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath day
was a great day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and
they be taken away. (32)The soldiers came, therefore, 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 broke not his legs. (34)But one of the soldiers with a spear
pierced his side, and forthwith there came out blood and water.

(35)And he that has seen has borne witness, and his witness is true,
and he knows that he says what is true, that ye also might believe.
(36)For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be
fulfilled: A bone of h
