“After that, knowing that everything now was finished for the Scriptures to be fulfilled to the end, Jesus said, 'I am thirsty. There was a container full of a vinegar drink there. So they fixed a sponge filled with this vinegar to a branch of hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. When he had taken the vinegar, Jesus said, “It is finished. Then, tilting his head, he put the spirit back. As it was the day of Preparation (that is, Friday), the bodies should not be left on the cross during the Sabbath, especially since this Sabbath was the great day of the Passover. So the Jews asked Pilate to remove the bodies after breaking their legs. So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first, then of the other man crucified with Jesus. When they came to Jesus, seeing that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one of the soldiers with his spear pierced his side; and immediately there came out blood and water. He who has seen bears witness, and his testimony is true; and that one knows that he is telling the truth so that you too may believe. This, in fact, happened to fulfill the Scripture: None of his bones shall be broken. Another passage of Scripture also says: They will lift up their eyes to him whom they have pierced. "
