John 19:29

John 19:29

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.

Was set (ekeito). Imperfect middle. John, as eyewitness, had noticed it there.

Of vinegar (ocouv). Not vinegar drugged with myrrh (Mark 15:23) and gall (Matthew 27:34) which Jesus had refused just before the crucifixion.

Sponge (spoggon). Old word, in N.T. only here, Mark 15:36; Matthew 27:48, our "sponge."

They put (periqentev). Second aorist active participle of peritiqhmi, to place around.

Upon hyssop (usswpw).

A reed (kalamw) as Mark and Matthew have it. The reed of the hyssop bush was only three or four feet long.
