So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus between them. Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, \u2018Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.\u2019 Many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, \u2018Do not write, \u201cThe King of the Jews\u201d, but, \u201cThis man said, I am King of the Jews.\u201d \u2019 Pilate answered, \u2018What I have written I have written.\u2019 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. So they said to one another, \u2018Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see who will get it.\u2019 This was to fulfil what the scripture says,
\n\u2018They divided my clothes among themselves,
\n and for my clothing they cast lots.\u2019
\nAnd that is what the soldiers did.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother\u2019s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, \u2018Woman, here is your son.\u2019 Then he said to the disciple, \u2018Here is your mother.\u2019 And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.<\/p>\n
After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfil the scripture), \u2018I am thirsty.\u2019 A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the wine, he said, \u2018It is finished.\u2019 Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
