Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 19
²⁹ A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.
³⁰ Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
³¹ Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked 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 man and of the other who was 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 blood and water came out.
³⁵ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
³⁶ For these things came to pass to fulfill the Scripture, "Not a bone of Him shall be broken."
³⁷ And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced."
³⁸ After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.
³⁹ Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
