[31] The Jews therefore, because the preparation, the bodies remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. [32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. [33] But when they came to Jesus, that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: [34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and came there out blood and water. [35] And he that saw it bare record, and his record true: knoweth that he saith true, that might believe. [36] For were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him not be broken. [37] And again another scripture saith, on him whom they pierced.
