Bible. John
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.
019:035 This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true.
He knows that he is telling the truth--in order that you
also may believe.
019:036 For all this took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled
which declares, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."
019:037 And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom
they have pierced."
019:038 After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus,
but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission
to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave.
So he came and removed the body.
019:039 Nicodemus too--he who at first had visited Jesus by night--
came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about
seventy or eighty pounds.
019:040 Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along
with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of
preparing for burial.
019:041 There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified,
and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
019:042 Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for
the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand,
they put Jesus there.
020:001 On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had
been removed from it.
020:002 So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter
and the other disciple--the one who was dear to Jesus--
and to tell them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb,
and we do not know where they have put Him."
020:003 Peter and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb,
both of them running,
020:004 but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached it
before he did.
020:005 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there
on the ground, but he did not go in.
