23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his clothes and divided them in four so that each soldier had his share. There was also his robe, made without seams, woven in one piece. 24 So they said to each other, "Let’s not tear it, but let’s decide who will have it by rolling dice." This fulfilled the Scripture that says, "They divided my garments among them and rolled dice for my clothing."* So that is what the soldiers did.

25 Standing near the cross were Jesus' mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.* 26 When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, "Mother,* this is your son." 27 Then he said to the disciple, "This is your mother." From then on the disciple took her into his home.
