John 19:31-42

31It wasG1510 the day of PreparationG3904, and the next dayG2250 wasG1510 a HighG3173 SabbathG4521. In order thatG2443 theG3588 bodiesG4983 would not remainG3361G3306 onG1909 theG3588 crossG4716 duringG1722 theG3588 SabbathG4521, theG3588 JewsG2453 askedG2065 PilateG4091 to haveG2443 theG3588 legsG4628 brokenG2608 andG2532 the bodies removedG142. 32SoG3767 theG3588 soldiersG4757 cameG2064 andG2532 brokeG2608 theG3588 legsG4628 of theG3588 firstG4413 man whoG3588 had been crucified withG4957 Jesus, andG2532 those of theG3588 otherG243.

33ButG1161 whenG5613 they cameG2064 toG1909 JesusG2424 and saw thatG3708 HeG846 was alreadyG2235 deadG2348, they did not breakG3756G2608 HisG846 legsG4628. 34InsteadG235, oneG1520 of theG3588 soldiersG4757 piercedG3572 HisG846 sideG4125 with a spearG3057, andG2532 immediatelyG2112 bloodG129 andG2532 waterG5204 flowed outG1831. 35TheG3588 one who sawG3708 it has testified to thisG3140, andG2532 hisG846 testimonyG3141 isG1510 trueG228. HeG1565 knowsG1492 thatG3754 he is tellingG3004 the truthG227, so thatG2443 youG4771 alsoG2532 may believeG4100.

36NowG1063 these thingsG3778 happenedG1096 so thatG2443 theG3588 ScriptureG1124 would be fulfilledG4137: “Not oneG3756 of HisG846 bonesG3747 will be brokenG4937.”1 37AndG2532G3825, as anotherG2087 ScriptureG1124 saysG3004: “They will lookG3708 onG1519 theG3739 One they have piercedG1574.”2

38AfterwardG1161G3326G3778, JosephG2501 ofG575 ArimatheaG707, who wasG1510 a discipleG3101 of JesusG2424 (butG1161 secretlyG2928 forG1223 fearG5401 of theG3588 JewsG2453), askedG2065 PilateG4091 toG2443 let him removeG142 theG3588 bodyG4983 of JesusG2424. PilateG4091 gave him permissionG2010, soG3767 he cameG2064 andG2532 removedG142 HisG846 bodyG4983. 39NicodemusG3530, whoG3588 had previously comeG2064G3588G4413 toG4314 Jesus at nightG3571, alsoG2532 broughtG2064G5342 a mixtureG3395 of myrrhG4666 andG2532 aloesG250, aboutG5613 seventy-five poundsG1540G3046.3 40SoG3767 they tookG2983 theG3588 bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 andG2532 wrappedG1210 itG846 in linen clothsG3608 withG3326 theG3588 spicesG759, according toG2531G1510 the JewishG3588G2453 burialG1779 customG1485.

41NowG1161 there wasG1510 a gardenG2779 inG1722 theG3588 placeG5117 whereG3699 Jesus was crucifiedG4717, andG2532 inG1722 theG3588 gardenG2779 a newG2537 tombG3419 inG1722 whichG3739 no oneG3762 had yet beenG1510G3764 laidG5087. 42AndG3767 because it wasG1223 theG3588 JewishG3588G2453 day of PreparationG3904 and theG3588 tombG3419 wasG1510 nearbyG1451, they placedG5087 JesusG2424 thereG1563.
