21So the Jewish priests went back to Pilate and protested, saying to him, “Change what they have written from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘This man said that he is the King of the Jews’!”
22Pilate replied, “What I told them to write is what they have written, and I will not change it.”
23After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak separate. This cloak had been woven from top to bottom from one piece of cloth.
24So they said to each other, “Let's not tear it. Instead, let's decide ◄ by throwing lots/ by gambling► who will get it.” So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that the Psalmist had written in Scripture, They divided most of my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for one piece of my clothing.
25Near the cross where they had nailed Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and another Mary, the woman from Magdala village.
26Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, “This man will now be like your son.”
27And he said to me, “ Treat this woman as MET your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home and took care of her.
