John 19:28-42 ▼

28 After, when Iesus knew that all things were performed, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst.

29 And there was set a vessell full of vineger: and they filled a spondge with vineger: and put it about an Hyssope stalke, and put it to his mouth.

30 Nowe when Iesus had receiued of the vineger, he saide, It is finished, and bowed his head, and gaue vp the ghost.

31 The Iewes then (because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remaine vpon the crosse on the Sabbath day: for that Sabbath was an hie day) besought Pilate that their legges might be broken, and that they might be taken downe.

32 Then came the souldiers and brake the legges of the first, and of the other, which was crucified with Iesus.

33 But when they came to Iesus, and saw that he was dead alreadie, they brake not his legges.

34 But one of the souldiers with a speare pearced his side, and foorthwith came there out blood and water.

35 And he that sawe it, bare recorde, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might beleeue it.

36 For these things were done, that the Scripture shoulde be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shalbe broken.

37 And againe an other Scripture saith, They shall see him whom they haue thrust through.

38 And after these things, Ioseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Iesus, but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate that he might take downe the bodie of Iesus; Pilate gaue him licence. He came then and tooke Iesus body.

39 And there came also Nicodemus (which first came to Iesus by night) & brought of myrrhe and aloes mingled together about an hundreth pound.

40 Then tooke they the body of Iesus, and wrapped it in linnen clothes with the odours, as the maner of the Iewes is to burie.

41 And in that place where Iesus was crucified, was a garden, and in the garden a newe sepulchre, wherein was neuer man yet laid.

42 There then laide they Iesus, because of the Iewes Preparation day, for the sepulchre was neere.
