John 19:26-31 God's Word Translation (GW)

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.

30. After Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!”Then he bowed his head and died.

31. Since it was Friday and the next day was an especially important day of worship, the Jews didn’t want the bodies to stay on the crosses. So they asked Pilate to have the men’s legs broken and their bodies removed.
