Johannes 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.

Johannes 19:28 In-Context

26 Jezus nu, ziende Zijn moeder, en den discipel, dien Hij liefhad, daarbij staande, zeide tot Zijn moeder: Vrouw, zie, uw zoon.

27 Daarna zeide Hij tot den discipel: Zie, uw moeder. En van die ure aan nam haar de discipel in zijn huis.

28 Hierna Jezus, wetende, dat nu alles volbracht was, opdat de Schrift zou vervuld worden, zeide: Mij dorst.

29 Daar stond dan een vat vol ediks, en zij vulden een spons met edik, en omlegden ze met hysop, en brachten ze aan Zijn mond.

30 Toen Jezus dan den edik genomen had, zeide Hij: Het is volbracht! En het hoofd buigende, gaf den geest.
