John 19:31-37

The Piercing and Scriptural Fulfillment

John 19:31-37

The Piercing and Scriptural Fulfillment

31
Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken: and that they might be taken away.
32
The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
33
But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34
But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and immediately there came out blood and water.
35
And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe.
36
For these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.
37
And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.
