SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:28
Despus de esto , sabiendo Jess que todas las cosas eran ya cumplidas, para que la Escritura se cumpliese, dijo: Sed tengo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 19:28
Verse 28. I thirst.] The scripture that referred to his drinking the vinegar is Psa. lxix. 21. The fatigue which he had undergone, the grief he had felt, the heat of the day, and the loss of blood, were the natural causes of this thirst. This he would have borne without complaint; but he wished to give them the fullest proof of his being the Messiah, by distinctly marking how every thing relative to the Messiah, which had been written in the prophets, had its complete fulfillment in him.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. After this , etc.] After he had committed his mother to the care of John, which was about the sixth hour, before the darkness came over the land: and three hours after this was the following circumstance, which was not without the previous knowledge of Christ: Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished ; or just upon being accomplished, were as good as finished; and as they were to be, would be in a very short time; even all things relating to his sufferings, and the circumstances of them, which were afore appointed by God, and foretold in prophecy, and of which he had perfect knowledge: that the Scripture might be fulfilled : might appear to have its accomplishment, which predicted the great drought and thirst that should be on him, ( Psalm 22:15) and that his enemies at such a time would give him vinegar to drink, ( Psalm 69:21) saith, I thirst ; which was literally true of him, and may be also understood spiritually of his great thirst and eager desire after the salvation of his people.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-30 - Here are some remarkable circumstances of Jesus' death, more full related than before. Pilate would not gratify the chief priests by allowing the writing to be altered; which was doubtless owing to secret power of God upon his heart, that this statement of our Lord' character and authority might continue. Many things done by the Roma soldiers were fulfilments of the prophecies of the Old Testament. All things therein written shall be fulfilled. Christ tenderly provided for his mother at his death. Sometimes, when God removes one comfort from us, he raises up another for us, where we looked not for it. Christ' example teaches all men to honour their parents in life and death; to provide for their wants, and to promote their comfort by every means in their power. Especially observe the dying word wherewith Jesus breathe out his soul. It is finished; that is, the counsels of the Fathe concerning his sufferings were now fulfilled. It is finished; all the types and prophecies of the Old Testament, which pointed at the sufferings of the Messiah, were accomplished. It is finished; the ceremonial law is abolished; the substance is now come, and all the shadows are done away. It is finished; an end is made of transgressio by bringing in an everlasting righteousness. His sufferings were no finished, both those of his soul, and those of his body. It is finished; the work of man's redemption and salvation is now completed His life was not taken from him by force, but freely given up.
