John 19: 23-24, The robe
When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,
“They divided my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment."
So this is what the soldiers did.
The robe is kept, not ripped apart.
The quote in verse 24 about the garments is from Psalm 22:18.
John 19: 25-27, Beneath the cross
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,”
27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
"This disciple" is the writer of the gospel, John. He records being assigned to take care of Mary after Jesus's death. The NIV footnotes stress that the word translated "Woman" in verse 26 does not indicate disrespect.
