Jesus’s Side Is Pierced
31 Since it was the day of Preparation, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the Sabbath, especially because that Sabbath was a day of great solemnity. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed.(A) 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.(B) 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once blood and water came out.(C) 35 (He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows[a] that he tells the truth, so that you also may continue[b] to believe.)(D) 36 These things occurred so that the scripture might be fulfilled, “None of his bones shall be broken.”(E) 37 And again another passage of scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”(F)
The Burial of Jesus
38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed his body.
