John 19:23-25

23 Then ¹the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made ²four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.

24 So they said to one another, "³Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; ⁴this was to fulfill the Scripture: "THEY ⁵DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."

25 Therefore the soldiers did these things. ⁶But standing by the cross of Jesus were ⁷His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and ⁸Mary Magdalene.
