32So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:
33But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;
34But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.
35And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.
36These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.
37And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.
38After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.
