20
Many of the Jews read this inscription, for s the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.
21

Pilate answered, t "What I have written I have written."

w "They divided my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots."
So the soldiers did these things,

27
