25. At the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple standing there, whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman! Behold, thy son.

27. Then he says to the disciple, "Behold, your mother! And from that time this disciple took Her to himself.

28. After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."

29. There was a vessel full of vinegar. The soldiers, having drunk a sponge with vinegar and put it on hyssop, brought it to His lips.

30. And when Jesus had tasted the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" And bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.

31. But since it was Friday, the Jews, in order not to leave the bodies on the cross on the Sabbath – for that was a great day – asked Pilate to break their legs and take them off.

32. So the soldiers came, and they broke the legs of the first, and the other who was crucified with him.

33. But when they came to Jesus, when they saw him 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 flowed.

35. And he who saw testified, and his testimony is true; He knows that he speaks the truth so that you will believe.

36. For this has come to pass, that the Scripture may be fulfilled: let not His bone be broken.

37. Likewise, in another place the Scripture says, "They will look upon Him whom they have pierced."

38. After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus, but secretly out of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to take down the body of Jesus; and Pilate allowed it. He went and took down the body of Jesus.
