And, bearing for himself the cross, he went forth unto the so-called Skull-place, which is named, in Hebrew, Golgotha;

where, him, they crucified; and, with him, other two, on this side and on that, and, in the midst, Jesus.

And Pilate wrote a title also, and placed on the cross; and there was written - JESUS, THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

This title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because, near, was the place to the city where Jesus was crucified; ad it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.

The High-priests of the Jews, therefore, were saying unto Pilate - Do not be writing, The King of the Jews; but that, he, said: King of the Jews, I am.

Pilate answered - What I have written, I have written!

The soldiers, therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, unto each soldier, a part; also the tunic. Howbeit, the tunic was without seam, from above, woven throughout.

They said, therefore, one to another - Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose, it shall be; - that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled - They parted my garments amongst them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots: - yes verily, the soldiers, these things did.
