Gospel John 19:25-34

• 25And standing beside the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, and Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

• 26Therefore, when Jesus had seen his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son.”

• 27Next, he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother.” And from that hour, the disciple accepted her as his own.

• 28After this, Jesus knew that all had been accomplished, so in order that the Scripture might be completed, he said, “I thirst.”

• 29And there was a container placed there, full of vinegar. Then, placing a sponge full of vinegar around hyssop, they brought it to his mouth.

• 30Then Jesus, when he had received the vinegar, said: “It is consummated.” And bowing down his head, he surrendered his spirit.

• 31Then the Jews, because it was the preparation day, so that the bodies would not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), they petitioned Pilate in order that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away.

• 32Therefore, the soldiers approached, and, indeed, they broke the legs of the first one, and of the other who was crucified with him.

• 33But after they had approached Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

• 34Instead, one of the soldiers opened his side with a lance, and immediately there went out blood and water.
