John 19:31-37
31 |
Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. |
32 |
Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. |
33 |
But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. |
34 |
But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. |
35 |
And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. |
36 |
For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken." |
37 |
And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced." |
