Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Since the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies to remain on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out. 35 The one who saw this has testified, and his testimony is true.
