^{17 Ref} And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):

^{18 Ref} Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

^{19 Ref} And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

^{20 Ref} The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

^{21 Ref} Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews.

^{22 Ref} But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

^{23 Ref} And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

^{24 Ref} So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

^{25 Ref} Now by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

^{26 Ref} So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son!

^{27 Ref} Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house.
