Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶

When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!"

²⁷

Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!"

²⁹

Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

³⁰

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

³¹

Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³²

Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.

³³

But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

³⁴

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁵

And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

³⁶

For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."

³⁷

And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced."
