23 Then (A)the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made (B)four parts: a part to each soldier, and the [a]tunic also; but the tunic was seamless, woven [b]in one piece. 24 So they said to one another, “(C)Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be.” (D)This happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They (E)divided My garments among themselves, and they cast [c]lots for My clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25 (F)Now beside the cross of Jesus stood (G)His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and (H)Mary Magdalene. 26 So when Jesus saw His mother, and (I)the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, (J)Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into (K)his own household.

28 After this, Jesus, (L)knowing that all things had already been accomplished, (M)in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, *said, (N)I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so (O)they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, (P)It is finished!” And He bowed His head and (Q)gave up His spirit.
