John 19:27-39 in English

²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁸ After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.

²⁹ There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³² The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:

³³ but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

³⁴ howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.

³⁵ And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.

³⁶ For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

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

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathæa, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.

³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

²⁷ Then He told the disciple, “Here is your mother!” From that hour, that disciple took her into his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now accomplished, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I’m thirsty!”

²⁹ A jar full of vinegar was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on a hyssop stalk, and lifted it up to His mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, “It is finished!” Then, He bowed His head, and gave up His spirit.

³¹ Because it was the Preparation Day, the Jews asked Pilate for the prisoners’ legs to be broken, and that they might be taken away, so that the bodies wouldn’t stay on the cross on the Sabbath (because that Sabbath was a special one).

³² Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other man who was crucified with Jesus,

³³ but when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they didn’t break His legs.

³⁴ Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁵ He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

³⁶ These things were done so that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”

³⁷ Another Scripture says, “They will look on Him who they pierced.”

³⁸ After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could take the body of Jesus away; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.

³⁹ Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing about a hundred Roman pounds of a mixture of myrrh and aloes.

²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³² Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

³³ But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

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

³⁵ And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

³⁶ For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

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

³⁸ And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being 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 him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁸ After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.

²⁹ There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³² The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him:

³³ but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

³⁴ howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.

³⁵ And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.

³⁶ For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

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

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.

³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

²⁷ And he said to me, “ Treat this woman as MET your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home and took care of her.

²⁸ Later, Jesus knew that everything that God sent him to do had now been completed {that he had now completed everything that God sent him to do}, but he knew that something else that was written in the Scriptures had to be fulfilled { that he had to fulfill something else that they had written in the Scriptures}. So he said, “I am thirsty!”

²⁹ There was a jar of sour wine there. So someone took a stalk of a plant called hyssop and fastened a sponge to it. Then he dipped the sponge into the wine and lifted it up to Jesus' lips.

³⁰ When Jesus tasted the sour wine, he shouted, “ I have finished all that I came to do!” Then he bowed his head and ◄died/handed over his spirit to God►.

³¹ That was the day that they prepared everything for their ◄ Sabbath/day of rest►. The next day was a special day of rest, because it was the day of rest during the Passover celebration. The Jewish leaders SYN did not want the bodies of the three men to remain on the cross during their ◄Sabbath/day of rest► because leaving bodies hanging overnight would be contrary to their Jewish laws. So they went to Pilate and asked him to command that the legs of the three men on the crosses be broken {the soldiers to break the legs of the three men on the crosses}, so that they would die quickly. Then their bodies could be taken down and buried {someone could take down their bodies and bury them}.

³² So, after Pilate agreed, the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man whom they had nailed on a cross near Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the second man.

³³ But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.

³⁴ Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear to make sure that Jesus was dead. Immediately blood clots and other liquid flowed out, which showed that Jesus was really dead.

³⁵ I, John, saw this myself, and what I am writing is true. I know that I am telling the truth, and I am saying this in order that you may believe in (OR, my testimony about) Jesus.

³⁶ These things happened in order that these words would be fulfilled {to fulfill these words} that are written in Scripture: “Not one of his bones will be broken {No one will break any of his bones}.”

³⁷ And they fulfilled another Scripture passage that has these words: ❛They will look on the one whom they have pierced❜.

³⁸ Later, Joseph, from Arimathea town, went to Pilate and asked Pilate to allow him to take Jesus' body down from the cross. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but he did not tell anyone that, because he was afraid of the other Jewish leaders SYN. Pilate permitted him to take Jesus' body, so he went, along with others, and they took Jesus' body down from the cross.

³⁹ Nicodemus was one of them. He was the man who previously went to visit Jesus at night. Nicodemus bought an expensive mixture of myrrh and aloe spices to put on the body. It weighed about ◄75 pounds/35 kilograms►.

²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”

²⁹ Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

³¹ Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

³² Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;

³³ but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

³⁴ However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁵ He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

³⁶ For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

³⁷ Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

³⁹ Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”

²⁹ Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

³¹ Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

³² Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;

³³ but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

³⁴ However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁵ He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

³⁶ For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

³⁷ Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

³⁹ Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”

²⁹ Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

³¹ Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

³⁵ He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

³⁶ For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

³⁷ Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

³⁹ Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house.

²⁸ After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

²⁹ Now there was a vessel ready, full of bitter wine, and they put a sponge full of it on a stick and put it to his mouth.

³⁰ So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

³¹ Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³² So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

³³ But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

³⁴ But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

³⁵ And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

³⁶ These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

³⁷ And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

³⁹ And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

²⁷ Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.

²⁹ There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.

³⁰ When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.

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

³² The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;

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

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

³⁵ And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.

³⁶ For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.

³⁷ And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

³⁹ And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

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

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

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

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

³¹ Then 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁸ And 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.

³⁹ And Nicodemus also came, (he who at the first came to Jesus by night,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

²⁷ Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her into his own care.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, seeing that all things already had been fulfilled, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, “I thirst!”

²⁹ Now a vessel was set full of sour wine; and they, having filled a sponge with sour wine, put it around a hyssop, they held it to His mouth.

³⁰ Therefore when Jesus received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

³¹ Therefore the Jews, since it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away.

³² Then the soldiers came and they broke the legs of the first man, and of the other who was crucified with Him.

³³ But having come to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁵ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he tells the truth, so that you may believe.

³⁶ For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not a bone of His shall be broken.”

³⁷ And again another Scripture says, “They shall look at Him whom they pierced.”

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away the body of Jesus.

³⁹ And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

²⁷ Then He says to the disciple, “There is your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

²⁸ After this, knowing that everything was now accomplished so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus says, “I'm thirsty!”

²⁹ Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; so they filled a sponge with sour wine, placed it on a hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

³⁰ Then, when He had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “Paid in full!!” And bowing His head He dismissed His spirit.

³¹ Now then, because it was Preparation Day, so that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews requested Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be removed.

³² Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.

³³ But upon coming to Jesus, they did not break His legs, since they saw that He had already died.

³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁵ And the one who saw has testified, and his testimony is true (yes, he knows he is telling the truth), so that you may believe.

³⁶ Because these things happened so that the Scripture should be fulfilled: “Not a bone of His will be broken.”

³⁷ And again another Scripture says: “They will look on Him whom they pierced.”

³⁸ After these things Joseph, the one from Arimathea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), requested Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. So he came and removed Jesus' body.

³⁹ Now Nicodemus also came (the one who at first came to Jesus by night), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, “This is your mother.” From then on the disciple took her into his home.

²⁸ Jesus now realized that he had finished all that he had come to do. In fulfillment of Scripture, he said, “I'm thirsty.”

²⁹ A jar of wine vinegar was standing there, so they soaked a sponge in the vinegar, put it on a hyssop stick, and held it to his lips.

³⁰ After he'd had the vinegar, Jesus said, “It's finished!” Then he bowed his head and breathed his last.

³¹ It was preparation day, and the Jewish leaders didn't want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath day (in fact this was a special Sabbath), so they asked Pilate to break the legs, so that the bodies could be removed.

³² So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first one and then the other of those crucified with Jesus,

³³ but when they came to Jesus they saw he was already dead, so they didn't break his legs.

³⁴ However, one of the soldiers stuck a spear into his side, and blood mixed with water came out.

³⁵ The one who saw this has given this evidence, and his evidence is true. He's certain that what he says is true so you can believe it too.

³⁶ It happened like this so Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”

³⁷ and as another Scripture says, “They will look at the one they pierced.”

³⁸ After this Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate if he could take down the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave his permission. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because he feared the Jews. So Joseph came and took the body away.

³⁹ He was joined by Nicodemus, the man who had first visited Jesus at night. He brought with him a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.

²⁷ Then saide he to the disciple, Beholde thy mother: and from that houre, the disciple tooke her home vnto him.

²⁸ After, when Iesus knew that all things were performed, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst.

²⁹ And there was set a vessell full of vineger: and they filled a spondge with vineger: and put it about an Hyssope stalke, and put it to his mouth.

³⁰ Nowe when Iesus had receiued of the vineger, he saide, It is finished, and bowed his head, and gaue vp the ghost.

³¹ The Iewes then (because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remaine vpon the crosse on the Sabbath day: for that Sabbath was an hie day) besought Pilate that their legges might be broken, and that they might be taken downe.

³² Then came the souldiers and brake the legges of the first, and of the other, which was crucified with Iesus.

³³ But when they came to Iesus, and saw that he was dead alreadie, they brake not his legges.

³⁴ But one of the souldiers with a speare pearced his side, and foorthwith came there out blood and water.

³⁵ And he that sawe it, bare recorde, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might beleeue it.

³⁶ For these things were done, that the Scripture shoulde be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shalbe broken.

³⁷ And againe an other Scripture saith, They shall see him whom they haue thrust through.

³⁸ And after these things, Ioseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Iesus, but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate that he might take downe the bodie of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him licence. He came then and tooke Iesus body.

³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus (which first came to Iesus by night) and brought of myrrhe and aloes mingled together about an hundreth pound.

²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³² Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

³³ But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

³⁵ And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

³⁶ For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

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

³⁸ And after this Joseph of Arimathea, being 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 him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

²⁷ Then he saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.

²⁹ A vessel was brought full of vinegar; and putting a sponge filled with vinegar upon a stalk of hyssop, they raised it to his mouth.

³⁰ When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and he bowed his head, and yielded up his spirit.

³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³² So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.

³³ But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they broke not his legs;

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

³⁵ And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knoweth that he saith what is true, that ye also may believe.

³⁶ For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him shall not be broken.”

³⁷ And again another scripture saith, “They shall look on him whom they pierced.”

³⁸ And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealing it for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. They came therefore and took him away.

³⁹ Nicodemus also, he who at the first went to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

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

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

²⁹ There 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.

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

³¹ It 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.

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

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

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

³⁵ This is the statement of one who actually saw it — and his statement may be relied on, and he knows that he is speaking the truth — and it is given in order that you also may be convinced.

³⁶ For all this happened in fulfilment of the words of scripture — ‘Not one of its bones will be broken.’

³⁷ And there is another passage which says — ‘They will look on him whom they pierced.’

³⁸ After this, Joseph of Ramah, a disciple of Jesus — but a secret one, owing to his fear of the religious authorities — begged Pilate's permission to remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him leave; so Joseph went and removed the body.

³⁹ Nicodemus, too — the man who had formerly visited Jesus by night — came with a roll of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.

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

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

²⁹ There 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.

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

³¹ It 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.

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

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

³⁵ This is the statement of one who actually saw it — and his statement may be relied on, and he knows that he is speaking the truth — and it is given in order that you also may be convinced.

³² Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was placed on execution-stakes with him;

³² Therfor knyytis camen, and thei braken the thies of the firste, and of the tothere, that was crucified with hym.

²⁹ a 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;

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

³¹ The 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.

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

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

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

³⁵ and 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.

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

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

³⁸ And 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,

³⁹ and 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.
