John 19:24-38

²⁴They said then one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lot. And the soldiers indeed did these things.

²⁵Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.

²⁶When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.

²⁷After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.

²⁸Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.

²⁹Now there was a vessel set there full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, put it to his mouth.

³⁰Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.

³¹Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³²The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.

³³But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.

³⁵And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe.

³⁶For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.

³⁷And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁸And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
