John 19:34-42

English Standard Version

³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out ^(A)blood and water. ^35 (B)He who saw it has borne witness—^(C)his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—^(D)that you also may believe. ^36 (E)For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: ^(F)“Not one of his bones ^(G)will be broken.” ³⁷ And again another Scripture says, ^(H)“They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

^38 (I)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly ^(J)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 (K)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus^[a] by night, came ^(L)bringing a mixture of ^(M)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds^[b] in weight. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus and ^(N)bound it in ^(O)linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. ⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a ^(P)garden, and ^(Q)in the garden a new tomb ^(R)in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² So because of the Jewish ^(S)day of Preparation, ^(T)since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
