John 19:32-42

NSB(i) 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. 38 Joseph of Arimathaea was a disciple of Jesus. He approached Pilate secretly for fear of the Jews. He asked Pilate for permission to take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So he took the body away. 39 Nicodemus also came with a mixture of myrrh and about a hundred pounds of aloes. Nicodemus is the one who came to Jesus at night. 40 They prepared the body of Jesus for burial. They bound it in linen cloths with spices. This was the custom of the Jews. 41 There was a garden at the place where he was impaled. It contained a new tomb where no one had been buried. 42 They laid Jesus there because the Jews Preparation was close at hand.
