The Crucifixion and Jesus' Care for His Mother

John 19:17-27

19
Chapter 19
17 and carrying his cross, he went out to the Place of the Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha, 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, but Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross. And it was written: "Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews." 20 Many of the Jews therefore read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'He said, "I am King of the Jews." ' " 22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." 23 Therefore, when the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier. But the tunic was seamless, woven from the top through the whole. 24 So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots for it, to see whose it will be," so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, the one saying, "They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot." So the soldiers indeed did these things. 25 But they were standing by the cross of Jesus: his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Therefore, when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son." 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
