John:19:31-35
rsv@John:19:31 @ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
rsv@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him;
rsv@John:19:33 @ but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
rsv@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.
rsv@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness--his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth--that you also may believe.
