After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfil the scripture), βI am thirsty.β A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the wine, he said, βIt is finished.β Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19: 28-30)
