28After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.
29Now 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.
30So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.
31Now 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.
32So 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:
33But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;
34But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.
35And 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.
36These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.
37And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.
38After 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.
39And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.
40Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.
