John 19:28-37
Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said,“ I am thirsty.”A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips.When Jesus had tasted it, he said,“ It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath( and a very special Sabbath, because it was Passover week). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down.So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus.But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs.One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.( This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you also may continue to believe.)These things happened in fulfillment of the Scriptures that say,“ Not one of his bones will be broken,”and“ They will look on the one they pierced.”

It will not be ruled by the king’s descendants, nor will the kingdom hold the authority it once had. For his empire will be uprooted and given to others.

Isaiah 10:12-15
After the Lord has used the king of Assyria to accomplish his purposes on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, he will turn against the king of Assyria and punish him— for he is proud and arrogant.He boasts,“ By my own powerful arm I have done this. With my own shrewd wisdom I planned it. I have broken down the defenses of nations and carried off their treasures. I have knocked down their kings like a bull.I have robbed their nests of riches and gathered up kingdoms as a farmer gathers eggs. No one can even flap a wing against me or utter a peep of protest.”But can the ax boast greater power than the person who uses it? Is the saw greater than the person who saws? Can a rod strike unless a hand moves it? Can a wooden cane walk by itself?
