19:25 Now standing beside Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 1 19:26 So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, 2 look, here is your son!” 19:27 He then said to his disciple, “Look, here is your mother!” From that very time 3 the disciple took her into his own home.
19:28 After this Jesus, realizing that by this time 4 everything was completed, 5 said (in order to fulfill the scripture), 6 “I am thirsty!” 7 19:29 A jar full of sour wine 8 was there, so they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on a branch of hyssop 9 and lifted it 10 to his mouth. 19:30 When 11 he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed!” 12 Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 13
19:31 Then, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not stay on the crosses on the Sabbath 14 (for that Sabbath was an especially important one), 15 the Jewish leaders 16 asked Pilate to have the victims’ legs 17 broken 18 and the bodies taken down. 19 19:32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men who had been crucified 20 with Jesus, 21 first the one and then the other. 22 19:33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced 23 his side with a spear, and blood and water 24 flowed out immediately. 19:35 And the person who saw it 25 has testified (and his testimony is true, and he 26 knows that he is telling the truth), 27 so that you also may believe. 19:36 For these things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled, “Not a bone of his will be broken.” 28 19:37 And again another scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.” 29
19:38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders 30 ), 31 asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate 32 gave him permission, so he went and took the body away. 33 19:39 Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus 34 at night, 35 accompanied Joseph, 36 carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes 37 weighing about seventy-five pounds. 38 19:40 Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, 39 in strips of linen cloth 40 according to Jewish burial customs. 41 19:41 Now at the place where Jesus 42 was crucified 43 there was a garden, 44 and in the garden 45 was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried. 46 19:42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation 47 and the tomb was nearby, 48 they placed Jesus’ body there.
