Juan 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.

Juan 19:28 In-Context

26 Cuando Jesús vio a su madre, y a su lado al discípulo a quien él amaba, dijo a su madre:—Mujer, ahí tienes a tu hijo.

27 Luego dijo al discípulo:—Ahí tienes a tu madre.Y desde aquel momento ese discípulo la recibió en su casa.

28 Después de esto, como Jesús sabía que ya todo había terminado, y para que se cumpliera la Escritura, dijo:—Tengo sed.

29 Había allí una vasija llena de vinagre; así que empaparon una esponja en el vinagre, la pusieron en una caña y se la acercaron a la boca.

30 Al probar Jesús el vinagre, dijo:—Todo se ha cumplido.Luego inclinó la cabeza y entregó el espíritu.
