John 19:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
28 (A)After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled,[a] Jesus said, “I thirst.”(B) 29 There was a vessel filled with common wine.[b] So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth.

- 19:28 The scripture…fulfilled: either in the scene of Jn 19:25–27, or in the I thirst of Jn 19:28. If the latter, Ps 22:16; 69:22 deserve consideration.
- 19:29 Wine: John does not mention the drugged wine, a narcotic that Jesus refused as the crucifixion began (Mk 15:23), but only this final gesture of kindness at the end (Mk 15:36). Hyssop, a small plant, is scarcely suitable for carrying a sponge (Mark mentions a reed) and may be a symbolic reference to the hyssop used to daub the blood of the paschal lamb on the doorpost of the Hebrews (Ex 12:22).

The Death of Jesus(A)
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,(B) and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,(C) Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar(D) was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.
