22. Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23. After the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, with each soldier getting one part. They also took his long shirt, which was all one piece of cloth, woven from top to bottom.
24. So the soldiers said to each other, “We should not tear this into parts. Let’s throw lots to see who will get it.” This happened so that this Scripture would come true:“They divided my clothes among them,and they threw lots for my clothing.”So the soldiers did this.
25. Standing near his cross were Jesus’ mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26. When Jesus saw his mother and the follower he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son.”
