John 19:31-37

Revised Geneva Translation

³¹ Then the Jews (because it was the Day of Preparation, and the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day because the Sabbath was a high day) asked Pilate if their legs might be broken so that they might be taken down.

³² Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other, who were crucified with Jesus.

³³ But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was dead already, they did not break His legs.

³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear. And immediately blood and water came out.

³⁵ And he who saw it bears witness. And his testimony is true. And he knows that he speaks the truth. So that you may believe it.

³⁶ For these things were done so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, ‘Not a bone of His shall be broken’.

³⁷ And again, another Scripture says, ‘They shall see him whom they have thrust through’.
