It Is Finished

28 After this, Jesus,1 knowing that all things were now accomplished, athat the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!”  
29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and athey filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.  
30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, a“It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.  

Jesus’ Side Is Pierced

31 aTherefore, because it was the Preparation Day, bthat the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a chigh day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.  
32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

John 19:30

It is finished - As if he had said: "I have executed the great designs of the Almighty - I have satisfied the demands of his justice - I have accomplished all that was written in the prophets, and suffered the utmost malice of my enemies; and now the way to the holy of holies is made manifest through my blood." An awful, yet a glorious finish. Through this tragical death God is reconciled to man, and the kingdom of heaven opened to every believing soul.

\ri720 "Shout heaven and earth, this Sum of good to Man!"

See the note on Matthew 27:50.

The prodigies which happened at our Lord' s death, and which are mentioned by the other three evangelists, are omitted by John, because he found the others had sufficiently stated them, and it appears he had nothing new to add.
