[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. [38] And after Joseph of Arimathaea, a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. [39] And there came also Nicodemus, which came to by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, an hundred pound [40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews to bury. [41] Now in the place where he was crucified a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein man yet laid. [42] There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre nigh at hand.
