John 19:33-42 ▼

33 But having come 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 through with the spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

35 And He having seen hath testified, and his testimony is true: and he knows that he speaks the truth, that you also may believe.

36 For these things took place, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken.

37 Again another Scripture says, They shall look on Him, whom they have pierced.

38 After these things, Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having been hidden on account of the fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted. Then he came and took the body of Jesus.

39 And Nicodemus also, the one having come at first to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

40 Then they received the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linens with aromatics, as is the custom to the Jews to embalm.

41 And there was in the place where He was crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which no one was ever yet placed.

42 Then on account of the Preparation of the Jews (because the sepulcher was near), they placed Jesus there.
