John 19:33-42 ⓘ

19:33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

19:34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

19:35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

19:36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

19:37 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

19:38 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.

19:39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

19:40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

19:41 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.

19:42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
