John 19:34-42

34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately ¹blood and water came out.

35 And he who has seen has ²testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

36 For these things came to pass ³to fulfill the Scripture, "⁴NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN."

37 And again another Scripture says, "⁵THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED."

38 ⁶After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a ⁷secret one for ⁸fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.

39 ⁹Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, ¹⁰bringing a mixture of ¹¹myrrh and aloes, about a ¹²hundred pounds weight.

40 So they took the body of Jesus and ¹³bound it in ¹⁴linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a ¹⁵new tomb ¹⁶in which no one had yet been laid.

42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of ¹⁷preparation, since the tomb was ¹⁸nearby, they laid Jesus there.
