John 19v28-42

Later, knowing that everything had now been finished and so that scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, I am thirsty.

A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant and lifted it to Jesus' lips.

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, It is finished.

With that he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Now it was the day of preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath.

Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken.

and the bodies taken down.

The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.

But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true.

He knows that he tells the truth.

and he testifies so that you also may believe.

These things happened so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.

Not one of his bones will be broken, and as another scripture says, they will look on the one they have pierced.

Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus.

Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders.

With Pilate's permission, he came, and took the body away.

He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night.

Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 35 kilograms.

Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it with the spices in strips of linen.

This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.

At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden, a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.

Because it was the Jewish day of preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
