14
(It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, There is your King!
15
Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.
16
So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;
17
And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):
18
Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.
19
And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20
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
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
But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.
23
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
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.
