19:16-24 They
(the high priests and attendants) therefore took Jesus. And so Jesus went out carrying his
own cross, to the place called 'the skull' which in Hebrew is called
Golgotha and there they crucufied him.
There were two others with him on this side and on that, with Jesus
in the middle. Pilate wrote a
title and put it on the cross.
On this was written "Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the
Jews" There were many Jews
that read this because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the
city. Also (the title) had been
written in Hebrew, in Latin and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews
|
therefore
said to Pilate. "Do not write "The king of the Jews," but
rather "this man said
"I am the King of the Jews".
Pilate answered "What I have written, I have
written." When the
soldiers crucified Jesus they took his garments and divided them into four
parts, so that each soldier received one part. Now the tunic was seamless as it was
woven from the top
throughout. So they said
to one another "Let is not tear it. (Rather) let us casts lots for it." This was so that the Scripture might
be fulfilled "They divided my garments amongst them and they cast a
lot over my outer garment."
The soldiers therefore did this things (so Scripture would be
fulfilled).
