John 19:28-42
28 Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of sour (unsweetened) wine (called gaul) was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. 30 When Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It is finished’ and his head bowing forward, he gave up the spirit [pneuma - wind, breath, spirit].
31 It was the day of preparation (new days begin at sunset rather than midnight) and the nation’s leaders didn’t want the bodies left on the crosses during the approaching Sabbath of the First Day of Unleavened Bread. [There’s three Sabbaths of Spring holy week - two of the three holy days, and the regular weekly - so also three preparation days.] So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus. 33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs. 34 One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out. 35 He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,” 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes. 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Passover meal upon First Day of Unleavened Bread, and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. (As evening approached, beginning the new day. By 1st day of Unleavened Bread, a Sabbath, Jesus was in the tomb. Died on Passover, in the grave at 1st Unleavened Bread Day, and he rose on Firstfruits which always followed the regular weekly Sabbath. But Passover and U.B. day are moveable. Passover being at the full moon of the first month, and U.B. is always the next day.)

~ 2 Timothy 4:1-8 ~
1 - I (Paul) solemnly urge you (Timothy, and ultimately all of us) in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom, 2 preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage the people with good teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions. 4 They will reject the truth and chase after/wander off into myths. [People/anthrรณpoi will refuse to listen to the truth and will turn to myths. (God created, biG bang into the universe as is, but like a clock not running. And THEN he set it in motion. Will the regenesis take thousands, millions, billions of years?] 5 But you, be sober concerning all things, endure hardship, and work hard, telling the good news and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.[Ministry/work - diakonรญa – ministry; active service, done with a willing voluntary attitude, Spirit-empowered service guided by faith pรญstis, the Lord's inbirthed persuasion]. 6 Now the time has come for my departure. My life is like a drink offering being poured out on the altar. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing. [Righteous - dikaiosunรฉ - justice, justness, righteousness, righteousness of which God is the source or author, but practically: a divine righteousness.] (Divine, perfect state. Mt.5:48) (This life/lesson, being a ‘parable’ of the decomposing apple and the worm that does not quit. Not without divine, super-natural intervention., which God has done, “it is finished”.)
