John 19:23-34

²³When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares — a share for each soldier — and they took the coat also. The coat had no seam, being woven in one piece from top to bottom.

²⁴So they said to one another, “Do not let us tear it, but let us cast lots for it, to see who will have it.” This was in fulfillment of the words of scripture — ‘They shared my clothes among them, And over my clothing they cast lots.’ That was what the soldiers did.

²⁵Meanwhile near the cross of Jesus were standing his mother and his mother's sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary of Magdala.

²⁶When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing near, he said to his mother, “There is your son.”

²⁷Then he said to that disciple, “There is your mother.” And from that very hour the disciple took her to live in his house.

²⁸Afterward, knowing that everything was now finished, Jesus said, in fulfillment of the words of scripture, “I am thirsty.”

²⁹There was a bowl standing there full of common wine; so they put a sponge soaked in the wine on the end of a hyssop-stalk, and held it up to his mouth.

³⁰When Jesus had received the wine, he exclaimed, “All is finished!” Then, bowing his head, he resigned his spirit to God.

³¹It was the Preparation day, and so, to prevent the bodies from remaining on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.

³²Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and then those of the other who had been crucified with Jesus;

³³but, on coming to him, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

³⁴One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water immediately flowed from it.
