After this, Jesus, seeing† that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
John 19:28 in context
John 19:25–31
But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
After this, Jesus, seeing† that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
