19:31 Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would 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.
19:32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him.
19:33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.
19:35 He who saw it has borne witness-- his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth-- that you also may believe.
19:36 For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken."
19:37 And again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they have pierced."
