Condemned to death
19 1Pilate had Jesus taken away and scourged. 2The soldiers also twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head. They threw a cloak of royal purple around his shoulders 3and began coming up to him and saluting him: 
—Hail, king of the Jews. 
And they struck him on the face. 

Crucifixion
25Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister Mary, who was the wife of Cleophas, and Mary of Magdala. 26When Jesus saw the Mother, and the disciple whom he loved, he said to the Mother: 
—Woman, this is your son. 
27Then he said to the disciple: 
—There is your mother. 
And from that moment the disciple took her to his own home.
