31The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
32The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:
33but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.
35And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.
36For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
