19:25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his
mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
19:26. When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple
standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
19:27. After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And
from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.
19:28. Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished,
that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.
19:29. Now there was a vessel set there, full of vinegar. And they,
putting a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop, put it to his mouth.
19:30. Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is
consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.
19:31. Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies
might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a
great sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken:
and that they might be taken away.
19:32. The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the
first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
19:33. But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was
already dead, they did not break his legs.
19:34. But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and
immediately there came out blood and water.
19:35. And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is
true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe.
19:36. For these things were done that the scripture might be
fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.
19:37. And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom
they pierced.
19:38. And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a
disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), besought Pilate
that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He
came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.
19:39. And Nicodemus also came (he who at the first came to Jesus by
night), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound
weight.
19:40. They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it in linen
cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
19:41. Now there was in the place where he was crucified a garden: and
in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.
19:42. There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they
laid Jesus: because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
John Chapter 20
Christ's resurrection and manifestation to his disciples.
20:1. And on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen cometh early,
when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre: and she saw the stone taken
away from the sepulchre.
20:2. She ran therefore and cometh to Simon Peter and to the other
disciple whom Jesus loved and saith to them: They have taken away the
Lord out of the sepulchre: and we know not where they have laid him.
