28 Depois, sabendo Jesus que todas as coisas já estavam consumadas, para que se cumprisse a Escritura, disse: Tenho sede.

João 19:28 Meaning and Commentary

John 19:28

After this
After he had committed his mother to the care of John, which was about the sixth hour, before the darkness came over the land: and three hours after this was the following circumstance, which was not without the previous knowledge of Christ:

Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished;
or just upon being accomplished, were as good as finished; and as they were to be, would be in a very short time; even all things relating to his sufferings, and the circumstances of them, which were afore appointed by God, and foretold in prophecy, and of which he had perfect knowledge:

that the Scripture might be fulfilled:
might appear to have its accomplishment, which predicted the great drought and thirst that should be on him, ( Psalms 22:15 ) and that his enemies at such a time would give him vinegar to drink, ( Psalms 69:21 )

saith, I thirst;
which was literally true of him, and may be also understood spiritually of his great thirst and eager desire after the salvation of his people.

João 19:28 In-Context

26 Ora, Jesus, vendo ali sua mãe, e ao lado dela o discípulo a quem ele amava, disse a sua mãe: Mulher, eis aí o teu filho.
27 Então disse ao discípulo: Eis aí tua mãe. E desde aquela hora o discípulo a recebeu em sua casa.
28 Depois, sabendo Jesus que todas as coisas já estavam consumadas, para que se cumprisse a Escritura, disse: Tenho sede.
29 Estava ali um vaso cheio de vinagre. Puseram, pois, numa cana de hissopo uma esponja ensopada de vinagre, e lha chegaram � boca.
30 Então Jesus, depois de ter tomado o vinagre, disse: está consumado. E, inclinando a cabeça, entregou o espírito.
