019:028 After this, Jesus, seeing{NU, TR read "knowing" instead of
"seeing"} that all things were now finished, that the Scripture
might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."
019:029 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge
full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
019:030 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
"It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
019:031 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day,
so that the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the Sabbath
(for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their
legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
019:032 Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first,
and of the other who was crucified with him;
019:033 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead,
they didn't break his legs.
019:034 However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear,
and immediately blood and water came out.
019:035 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true.
He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
019:036 For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
"A bone of him will not be broken."{Exodus 12:46;
Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20}
019:037 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom
they pierced."{Zechariah 12:10}
019:038 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple
of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate
that he might take away Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission.
He came therefore and took away his body.
019:039 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came
bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred
pounds.{100 Roman pounds of 12 ounces each, or about 72 pounds,
or 33 Kilograms.}
019:040 So they took Jesus' body, and bound it in linen cloths with
the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
019:041 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden.
In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever
yet been laid.
019:042 Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was
near at hand) they laid Jesus there.
020:001 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early,
while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken
away from the tomb.
020:002 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken
away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they
have laid him!"
020:003 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went
toward the tomb.
020:004 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter,
and came to the tomb first.
