John 19:28-29 (NASB)

28    After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, "I am thirsty."

29    A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.

   Only after Jesus had accomplished His mission making forgiveness available for all people, only then did He express a word of personal anguish: "I thirst."

   Again, this is another indication of His priorities!
