Jesus' Death and the Fulfillment of Scripture

John 19:28-37

19
Chapter 19
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, said—to fulfill the Scripture—"I thirst." 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop stalk and held it to his mouth. 30 When he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 31 Therefore, since it was the day of Preparation, the Jews asked Pilate that the legs might be broken and the bodies taken away, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath—for that Sabbath was a great day. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and then of the other one crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and 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 blood and water came out. 35 The one who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things happened so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken." 37 And another Scripture says again: "They will look on the one whom they pierced."
