God's Word Translation

John 19:24-29 God's Word Translation (GW)

24. The soldiers said to each other, “Let’s not rip it apart. Let’s throw dice to see who will get it.” In this way the Scripture came true: “They divided my clothes among themselves. They threw dice for my clothing.” So that’s what the soldiers did.

25. Jesus’ mother, her sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary from Magdala were standing beside Jesus’ cross.

26. Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there. He said to his mother, “Look, here’s your son!”

27. Then he said to the disciple, “Look, here’s your mother!”From that time on she lived with that disciple in his home.

28. After this, when Jesus knew that everything had now been finished, he said, “I’m thirsty.” He said this so that Scripture could finally be concluded.

29. A jar filled with vinegar was there. So the soldiers put a sponge soaked in the vinegar on a hyssop stick and held it to his mouth.
