Bible in Basic English (1941)

    31Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

    32So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

    33But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

    34But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

    35And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

    36These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.
