John 19:29-42

²⁹Ther stode a vessell full of veneger by. And they filled a sponge with veneger and wounde it about with ysope and put it to his mouth.

³⁰Assone as Iesus had receaved of the veneger he sayd: It is fynesshed and bowed his heed and gaue vp the goost.

³¹The Iewes then because it was the saboth even that the bodyes shuld not remayne apon the crosse on the saboth daye (for that saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that their legges myght be broken and that they myght be taken doune.

³²Then came the soudiers and brake the legges of the fyrst and of the other which was crucified with Iesus.

³³But when they came to Iesus and sawe that he was deed already they brake not his legges:

³⁴but one of the soudiers with a speare thrust him into the syde and forthwith came ther out bloud and water.

³⁵And he that sawe it bare recorde and his recorde is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true that ye myght beleve also.

³⁶These thinges were done that the scripture shuld be fulfilled: Ye shall not breake a boone of him.

³⁷And agayne another scripture sayth: They shall looke on him whom they pearsed.

³⁸After that Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pylate that he myght take doune the body of Iesus. And Pylate gave him licence.

³⁹And ther cam also Nicodemus which at the beginnynge came to Iesus by nyght and brought of myrre and aloes mingled to gether aboute an hundred pounde wayght.

⁴⁰Then toke they the body of Iesu and wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odoures as the maner of the Iewes is to bury.

⁴¹And in the place where Iesus was crucified was a garden and in the garden a newe sepulchre wherin was never man layd.

⁴²There layde they Iesus because of the Iewes saboth even for the sepulcre was nye at honde.
