In Context

19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, |JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.|

20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, |Don't 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 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

24 Then they said to one another, |Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,| that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, |They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots.| Therefore the soldiers did these things.
