John 19:24–37

^19:24Then they said to one another, “Let us not cut it, but instead let us cast lots over it, to see whose it will be.” This was so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, saying: “They have distributed my garments among themselves, and for my vesture they have cast lots.” And indeed, the soldiers did these things

^19:25And standing beside the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, and Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene

^19:26Therefore, when Jesus had seen his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son.

^19:27Next, he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother.” And from that hour, the disciple accepted her as his own

^19:28After this, Jesus knew that all had been accomplished, so in order that the Scripture might be completed, he said, “I thirst.

^19:29And there was a container placed there, full of vinegar. Then, placing a sponge full of vinegar around hyssop, they brought it to his mouth

^19:30Then Jesus, when he had received the vinegar, said: “It is consummated.” And bowing down his head, he surrendered his spirit

^19:31Then the Jews, because it was the preparation day, so that the bodies would not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), they petitioned Pilate in order that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away

^19:32Therefore, the soldiers approached, and, indeed, they broke the legs of the first one, and of the other who was crucified with him

^19:33But after they had approached Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs

^19:34Instead, one of the soldiers opened his side with a lance, and immediately there went out blood and water

^19:35And he who saw this has offered testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knows that he speaks the truth, so that you also may believe

^19:36For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “You shall not break a bone of him.

^19:37And again, another Scripture says: “They shall look upon him, whom they have pierced.
