  • John 19:31-37 : 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. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: 'Not one of his bones will be broken.' 37 And again another Scripture says, 'They will look on the one they have pierced.'
