30 And Jesus said, Behold, for I will meet you in the realm of souls this day.

31 Now, standing near unto the cross were many women from Judea and from Galilee. Among them were the mother of the Lord and Miriam,

32 And Mary, mother of the two apostles, James and John, and Mary Magdalene, and Martha, Ruth and Mary, and Salome.

33 When Jesus saw his mother and the singer Miriam standing close beside the cross and John a-near, he said to John,

34 In your most tender care I leave my mother and my sister Miriam.

35 And John replied, While they shall live my home shall be the home of your thrice blessed mother and your sister Miriam.

36 According to a custom of the Jews, to those who were the executioners of law and took the lives of criminals, belonged the garments of the criminals.

37 So when the Lord was crucified, the Roman guards divided up among themselves the garments of the Lord.

38 But when they found his coat it was a seamless coat and highly prized.

39 For it the guards cast lots, and thus determined who should have the prize.
