John 19:32-38

New American Standard Bible

³² So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and of the other who was ^(A)crucified with Him; ³³ but after they came to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. ³⁴ Yet one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately ^(B)blood and water came out. ³⁵ And he who has seen has ^(C)testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. ³⁶ For these things took place ^(D)so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “^(E)Not a bone of Him shall be ^[a]broken.” ³⁷ And again another Scripture says, “^(F)They will look at Him whom they pierced.”

³⁸ Now ^(G)after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a ^(H)secret one for ^(I)fear of the ^[b]Jews, requested of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.
