Psalm 22:18 is fulfilled
23 Now when the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took His clothes and made four parts, a part for each soldier.This probably means that Jesus was left without any; one final bit of humiliation. They also took His tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said among themselves, "Let’s not rip it, but toss for it, to see whose it will be," so that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
"They divided my clothes among themselves,
and for my clothing they cast a lot."
That is why the soldiers did these things.See Psalm 22:18. John seems to be affirming a cause/effect relationship. The centurion could have claimed the tunic, or whatever, but casting a lot had been prophesied.
Jesus provides for His mother
25 Now Jesus' mother and her sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing by His cross. 26 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He says to His mother, "Woman, there is your son!" 27 Then He says to the disciple, "There is your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.Notice that Jesus is still perfectly lucid. As Mary’s oldest son, He was responsible for her well-being (we understand that Joseph was gone by now), so He passes that responsibility over to the Apostle John (the author of this Gospel); and John accepts it.
