John 19:30-35
Christian Standard Bible
30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.”(A) Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.(B)
Jesus’s Side Pierced
31 Since it was the preparation day,(C) the Jews did not want the bodies(D) to remain on the cross(E) on the Sabbath(F) (for that Sabbath was a special[a] day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.(G) 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with him. 33 When they came to Jesus, they did not break his legs since they saw that he was already dead.(H) 34 But one of the soldiers pierced(I) his side(J) with a spear, and at once blood and water(K) came out. 35 He who saw this has testified(L) so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows he is telling the truth.(M)
