019:024 So they said to one another, "Do not let us tear it.
Let us draw lots for it." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They shared my garments among them, and drew lots for my clothing." That was just what the soldiers did. 019:025 Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. 019:026 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, "Behold, your son!" 019:027 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that time the disciple received her into his own home. 019:028 After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought to an end, said--that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "I am thirsty." 019:029 There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth. 019:030 As soon as Jesus had taken the wine, He said, "It is finished." And then, bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit. 019:031 Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs of the dying men broken, and the bodies removed. 019:032 Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus. 019:033 Then they came to Jesus Himself: but when they saw that He was already dead, they refrained from breaking His legs. 019:034 One of the soldiers, however, made a thrust at His side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out. |
