John 19:26-39

²⁶Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;'

²⁷afterward he saith to the disciple, 'Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, 'I thirst;'

²⁹a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop stalk, did put it to his mouth;

³⁰when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

³¹The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

³²The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

³³and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

³⁴but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

³⁵and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

³⁶For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;'

³⁷and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'

³⁸And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea — being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews — ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

³⁹and Nicodemus also came — who came unto Jesus by night at the first — bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.
