John 19:28-37

Jesus now realized that he had finished all that he had come to do. In fulfillment of Scripture, he said, “I'm thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was standing there, so they soaked a sponge in the vinegar, put it on a hyssop stick, and held it to his lips. After he'd had the vinegar, Jesus said, “It's finished!” Then he bowed his head and breathed his last. It was preparation day, and the Jewish leaders didn't want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath day (in fact this was a special Sabbath), so they asked Pilate to break the legs, so that the bodies could be removed. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first one and then the other of those crucified with Jesus, but when they came to Jesus they saw he was already dead, so they didn't break his legs. However, one of the soldiers stuck a spear into his side, and blood mixed with water came out. The one who saw this has given this evidence, and his evidence is true. He's certain that what he says is true so you can believe it too. It happened like this so Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,” and as another Scripture says, “They will look at the one they pierced.”
