The Scriptures 1998

John 19:33-42 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

33. but when they came to יהושע and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

34. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and instantly blood and water came out.

35. And he who has seen has witnessed, and his witness is true. And he knows that he is speaking the truth, in order that you might believe.

36. For this took place in order for the Scripture to be filled: “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”

37. And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

38. And after this, Yosĕph of Ramathayim, being a taught one of יהושע, but secretly, for fear of the Yehuḏim, asked Pilate that he might take the body of יהושע, and Pilate gave permission. Therefore he came and took the body of יהושע.

39. And Naḵdimon, who at first came to יהושע by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

40. Then they took the body of יהושע, and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as was the habit of the Yehuḏim for burial.

41. And at the place where He was impaled there was a garden, and in the garden a fresh tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

42. There, then, because of the Preparation Day of the Yehuḏim, they laid יהושע, because the tomb was near.
