John 19:28-37

NSB(i) 28 He knew that it was over. In order that the scripture might be accomplished, he said: »I thirst.« 29 A vessel full of vinegar was setting there. They put a sponge full of vinegar upon a hyssop branch and brought it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus received the vinegar, he said, »it is finished.« He bowed his head, and he stopped breathing. 31 It was Preparation and the Jews insisted that bodies not remain on the stake on the Sabbath. The day of that Sabbath was a high day. They asked Pilate that the legs be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 The soldiers broke the legs of the two who were impaled with him. 33 When they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already so they did not break his legs. 34 The soldier with the spear pierced his side and suddenly blood and water came out. 35 He who saw testified and his testimony is true. He knows and he speaks truth that you also may believe. 36 These things came to pass in order that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken. 37 And again another scripture said: They should look on him whom they pierced.
