22. “What I have written, I have written,” Pilate answered.
23. So the soldiers, when they executed Yeshua, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part for each soldier. They took His tunic also, but it was seamless, woven top to bottom in one piece.
24. So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it will be.” This was so the Scripture would be fulfilled, “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things.
25. Standing near the execution stake of Yeshua were His mother, His mother’s sister, Miriam the wife of Clopas, and Miriam from Magdala.
26. Yeshua saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby. He tells His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
27. Then He tells the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that very hour, the disciple took her into his own home.
28. After this, when Yeshua knew that all things were now completed, to fulfill the Scripture He said, “I am thirsty.”
29. A jar full of sour wine was sitting there, so they put a sponge soaked with the sour wine on a hyssop branch and brought it to His mouth.
30. When Yeshua tasted the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
31. It was the Day of Preparation, and the next day was a festival Shabbat. So that the bodies should not remain on the execution stake during Shabbat, the Judean leaders asked Pilate to have the legs broken and to have the bodies taken away.
32. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then the other who had been executed with Yeshua.
33. Now when they came to Yeshua and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35. He who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
36. These things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “Not a bone of His shall be broken.”
37. And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they have pierced.”
38. After these things, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate if he could take Yeshua’s body away. Joseph was a disciple of Yeshua, but secretly for fear of the Judean leaders. Pilate gave permission, so Joseph came and took the body away.
39. Nicodemus, who had first visited Yeshua at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
40. Then they took the body of Yeshua and wrapped it in linen with the spices, as is the Jewish burial custom.
