Even the soldiers made sport of him by coming up and offering him sour wine, saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself." For there was an inscription over his head, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. And one of the criminals who had been hung there kept reviling him, saying. "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us."

So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write 'King of the Jews,' but 'He said, I am King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written!" After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, to each soldier a part, and the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom; so the soldiers said one to another. "Let us not tear it.
