23 After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak separate. This cloak was without seam, woven from top to bottom, one piece of cloth. 24 So they said to each other, "Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s decide ◄by throwing lots/by gambling► who will get it." So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that the Psalmist had written in Scripture,

They divided most of my clothes among themselves.

They cast lots for one piece of my clothing.

25 Near the cross where they had nailed Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and another Mary, the woman from Magdala village. 26 Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, "This man will now be like your son." 27 And he said to me, "Treat this woman as [MET] your mother." So from that time I took her to my home and took care of her.
