John 19:28 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

John 19:28

26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and ^athe disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, ^b“Woman, behold your son!”

27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her ^ato his own home.

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.

34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately ^ablood and water came out.

35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is ^atrue; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may ^bbelieve.

36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, ^a“Not one of His bones shall be broken.”

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished—that is, the moment for the fulfilment of the last of them; for there was one other small particular, and the time was come for that too, in consequence of the burning thirst which the fevered state of His frame occasioned (Psalms 22:15).

that the scripture— (Psalms 69:21).

might be fulfilled saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar—on the offer of the soldiers' vinegar, see on John 19:24.
