23 When the soldiers had nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his mantle and divided it into four parts, one to every soldier: they also took the coat, which was seamless, woven from the top throughout;
24 «and said, among themselves, Let us not tear it, but determine by lot whose it shall be; by this verifying the scripture, which says,» 'They shared my mantle among them, and cast lots for my vesture.'
25 Thus, therefore, acted the soldiers. Now, there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother, and her sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene.
26 Then Jesus, observing his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, 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 to his own house.
