John 19:26–35

²⁶When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and ^wthe disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, ^x“Woman, behold your son!” ²⁷Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her ^yto his own home.

²⁸After this, Jesus, ⁵knowing that all things were now accomplished, ^zthat the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” ²⁹Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and ^athey filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. ³⁰So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, ^b“It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

^31cTherefore, because it was the Preparation Day, ^dthat the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a ^ehigh day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. ³²Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. ³³But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. ³⁴But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately ^fblood and water came out. ³⁵And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is ^gtrue; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may ^hbelieve.
