Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 19
³⁰ So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
³¹ Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
³² Then 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 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 may believe.
³⁶ For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."
³⁷ And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced."
³⁸ After this, 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 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.
⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
