inished,
that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. (29)Now there
was placed a vessel full of vinegar: they then filling a spunge with
the vinegar, and putting it on a stick of hyssop, carried it to his
mouth. (30)When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It
is finished: and inclining his head, he surrendered up his spirit.
(31)The Jews therefore, as it was the preparation, that the bodies
might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath-day was
a great day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away. (32)Then came the soldiers, and brake the
legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. (33)But
when they came to Jesus, as they saw that he was already dead, they
brake not his legs: (34)but one of the soldiers with his lance pierced
his side, and immediately there gushed out blood and water. (35)And he
that saw it bore witness, and we know that his testimony is true: and
he himself is conscious that he speaketh what is true, that ye might
believe. (36)Now these things were done, that the scripture might be
fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken." (37)And again another
scripture saith, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."
(38)And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (being a disciple of
Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews,) besought Pilate that he
might take away the body of Jesus and Pilate permitted him. Then he
came and took away the body of Jesus. (39)And Nicodemus, who had come
to Jesus by night formerly, came also, bringing a mixture of myrrh and
aloes, about a hundred weight.
(40)Then they took the body, and bound it with swathes together with
the aromatics, as the custom is with the Jews to bury. (41)And there
was near the spot were he was crucified a garden and in the garden a
new tomb, wherein no person had ever yet been laid. (42)Because of the
preparation of the Jews therefore, they laid Jesus there; for the
sepulchre was just by.

AND on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen came very early, whilst
yet some darkness remained, to the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken
away from the sepulchre. (2)She therefore runneth, and cometh to Simon
Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them,
They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not
where they have laid him. (3)Then Peter went out, and that other
disciple, and came to
