John 19:16-30

¹⁶Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.

¹⁷And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on this side, and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.

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

²¹The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.

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

²³The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.

²⁴They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.

²⁵And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

²⁶Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.

²⁷Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.

²⁹There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.

³⁰When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
