28 ¶ [a]After, when Jesus knew that all things were performed, that the (A)Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst.
29 And there was set a [b]vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar: and put it about an Hyssop stalk, and put it to his mouth.
30 Now when Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
