John 19:31-42

« John 18John 19John 20 »

31 Then the Jews, because it was ^athe day of Preparation, so that ^bthe bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (¹for that Sabbath was a ^chigh day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was ^acrucified with Him; 33 but coming to Jesus, when they 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 ^ablood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has ^aborne witness, and his witness is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things came to pass ^ain order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “^bNot a bone of Him shall be ¹broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “^aThey shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

38 ^aNow after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but ^bsecretly because of his ^cfear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39 ^aAnd Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, ^bbringing a ¹mixture of ^cmyrrh and aloes, weighing about ²one ^dhundred litras. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and ^abound it in ^blinen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a ^anew tomb ^bin which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of ^aPreparation, since the tomb was ^bnearby, they laid Jesus there.
