31 Therefore, since it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the stake on the Sabbath – for that Sabbath was a high one – the Yehuḏim asked Pilate to have their legs broken, and that they be taken away.
32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was impaled with Him,
33 but when they came to יהושע and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and instantly blood and water came out.
35 And he who has seen has witnessed, and his witness is true. And he knows that he is speaking the truth, in order that you might believe.
36 For this took place in order for the Scripture to be filled: “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”
37 And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
