John 19:29

In context

27Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home. 28After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29A jar of sour wine was standing there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, set it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to his mouth. 30When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 31Since it was the day of Preparation, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross over the Sabbath — for that Sabbath was a great day — so they asked Pilate to have the men’s legs broken and the bodies taken away.
