John:19:28-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After this ,
Jesus ,
seeing that all things already had been fulfilled ,
so that the Scripture might be fulfilled ,
He said , "
I thirst !"
*
Now a vessel was set full of sour wine ;
and they ,
having filled a sponge with sour wine ,
put it around a hyssop ,
they held it to His mouth .
*
Therefore when Jesus received the sour wine ,
He said , "
It is finished !"
And bowing His head ,
He gave up His spirit .
*
Therefore the Jews ,
since it was the Preparation [
Day ],
that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (
for that Sabbath was a high day ),
asked Pilate that their legs might be broken ,
and they might be taken away .
*
Then the soldiers came and they broke the legs of the first [
man ,]
and of the other who was crucified with Him .
*
But having come to Jesus ,
when they saw that He was already dead ,
they did not break His legs .
*
But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear ,
and immediately blood and water came out .
*
And he who has seen has testified ,
and his testimony is true ;
and he knows that he tells the truth ,
so that you may believe .
*
For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled , "
Not a bone of His shall be broken ."
*
And again another Scripture says , "
They shall look at [
Him ]
whom they pierced ."
