ng was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

19:20. This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place
where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. And it was written in
Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.

19:21. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not: The
King of the Jews. But that he said: I am the King of the Jews.

19:22. Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.

19:23. The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his
garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part) and also
his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

19:24. They said then one to another: Let us not cut it but let us cast
lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled,

consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.

19:31. Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies
might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great
sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken: and that
they might be taken away.

19:32. The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the
first, and of the other that was crucified with him.

19:33. But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was
already dead, they did not break his legs.

19:34. But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and
immediately there came out blood and water.

19:35. And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is
