John 19:34-42 ▼

34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

35 The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you⁺ also may believe.

36 Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken .”

37 And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced .”

38 Afterward, Joseph (he will add) of Arimathea (High place), who was a disciple (pupil) of Jesus (YHWH saves) (but secretly for fear of the Jews (people of praise)), asked Pilate (armed with a spear) to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.

39 Nicodemus (victory of the people), who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds <34 kg>.

40 So they took the body of Jesus (YHWH saves) and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.

41 Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

42 And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus (YHWH saves) there.
