John 19:28-42

English Standard Version

The Death of Jesus

²⁸After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now ^(A)finished, said (^(B)to fulfill the Scripture), ^(C)“I thirst.” ²⁹A jar full of sour wine stood there, ^(D)so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. ³⁰When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, ^(E)“It is finished,” and he bowed his head and ^(F)gave up his spirit.

Jesus' Side Is Pierced

³¹Since it was ^(G)the day of Preparation, and ^(H)so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was ^(I)a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. ³²So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other ^(J)who had been crucified with him. ³³But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. ³⁴But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out ^(K)blood and water. ³⁵^(L)He who saw it has borne witness—^(M)his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—^(N)that you also may believe. ³⁶^(O)For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: ^(P)“Not one of his bones ^(Q)will be broken.” ³⁷And again another Scripture says, ^(R)“They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

³⁸^(S)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly ^(T)for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. ³⁹^(U)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus^[a] by night, came ^(V)bringing a mixture of ^(W)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds^[b] in weight. ⁴⁰So they took the body of Jesus and ^(X)bound it in ^(Y)linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. ⁴¹Now in the place where he was crucified there was a ^(Z)garden, and ^(AA)in the garden a new tomb ^(AB)in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴²So because of the Jewish ^(AC)day of Preparation, ^(AD)since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

Psalm 85

English Standard Version

Revive Us Again

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of ^(A)the Sons of Korah.

85 Lord, you were ^(B)favorable to your land;
    you ^(C)restored the fortunes of Jacob.
²You ^(D)forgave the iniquity of your people;
    you ^(E)covered all their sin. Selah
³You withdrew all your wrath;
    you ^(F)turned from your hot anger.

⁴^(G)Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
    and put away your indignation toward us!
⁵^(H)Will you be angry with us forever?
    Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
⁶Will you not ^(I)revive us again,
    that your people may ^(J)rejoice in you?
⁷Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
    and grant us your salvation.

⁸^(K)Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
    for he will ^(L)speak peace to his people, to his ^(M)saints;
    but let them not ^(N)turn back to ^(O)folly.
⁹Surely his ^(P)salvation is near to those who fear him,
    that ^(Q)glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰^(R)Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
    ^(S)righteousness and peace kiss each other.
¹¹Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
    and righteousness looks down from the sky.
¹²Yes, ^(T)the Lord will give what is good,
    and our land ^(U)will yield its increase.
¹³^(V)Righteousness will go before him
    and make his footsteps a way.
