John 19:23-28 Modern English Version (MEV)

23. When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took His garments and divided them into four parts, a part for each soldier; and also His tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom.

24. So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it shall be.”This happened to fulfill the Scripture which says: “They divided My garments among them,and for My clothing they cast lots.”Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26. When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

27. Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time, this disciple took her to his own home.

28. After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst.”
