John 19:36
Verse 36 of 42. The 19th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.
32Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
33but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
34However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
36For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
37Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
38After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
39Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
40So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
