The Crucifixion and Jesus' Care for His Mother

John 19:17-27
17And carrying the cross for himself, he went out to the place called Skull, which is called Golgotha in Hebrew. 18There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle. 19Pilate also wrote a title and fastened it on the cross. It was written: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. 20Many of the Jews 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. 21So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but rather, 'He said, I am King of the Jews.'" 22Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." 23When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and made four parts, a part for each soldier, and the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top throughout. 24So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot." The soldiers therefore did these things. 25Now standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, here is your son." 27Then he said to the disciple, "Here is your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
