John 19:25-42 (KJV)
[25] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother,
and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas,
and Mary Magdalene.
[26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the
disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith
unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
[27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!
And from that hour that disciple took her
unto his own home.
[28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were
now accomplished, that the scripture might
be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
[29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar:
and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put
it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
[30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar,
he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head,
and gave up the ghost.
[31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation,
that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on
the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,)
besought Pilate that their legs might be broken,
and that they might be taken away.
[32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first,
and of the other which was crucified with him.
[33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they brake not his legs:
[34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,
and forthwith came there out blood and water.
[35] And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true:
and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
[36] For these things were done, that the scripture should
be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
[37] And again another scripture saith, They shall
look on him whom they pierced.
[38] And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a
disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews,
besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus:
and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore,
and took the body of Jesus.
[39] And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first
came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of
myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
[40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in
linen clothes with the spices, as the manner
of the Jews is to bury.
[41] Now in the place where he was crucified there
was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre,
wherein was never man yet laid.
[42] There laid they Jesus therefore because of
the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre
was nigh at hand.
