Jesus is crucified John doesn't record the derision that the crowd heaps on Jesus. Instead he focuses on the soldiers dividing his garments among them. Then on Jesus passing his mother to him (John) in order for John to care for her. Jesus says he's thirsty. This is to show fulfillment of Scripture. A soldier checks to see if Jesus is actually dead by piercing his side. Blood and water come out. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus prepare the body for burial. He is buried nearby in a tomb that has never been used. And so we wait.
