Excerpts from John Chapter 19

The Death of Jesus

“”Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother and His mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His mother standing beside the disciple (John) He loved, He said to her, “Dear woman, here is Your son.” And He said to this disciple,”Here is Your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home.

Jesus knew that His mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture, He said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to His lips. When Jesus had tasted it, He said, ” It is finished!” Then He bowed His head and released His spirit.””

(vv. 25-30, NLT)
