28. After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty!”
29. A jar full of sour wine was there, so they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on a branch of hyssop and lifted it to his mouth.
30. When he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31. Then, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not stay on the crosses on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an especially important one), the Jewish leaders asked Pilate to have the victims’ legs broken and the bodies taken down.
32. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men who had been crucified with Jesus, first the one and then the other.
33. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
