John 19:31-37 The Jews then, because it was the Sabbath even that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day — For that Sabbath day was a high day — besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken down.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ³¹ The Jews then, because it was the Sabbath even that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day — For that Sabbath day was a high day — besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken down. ³² Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with Jesus. ³³ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear, thrust him into the side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. ³⁵ And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true. And he knoweth that he saith true that ye might believe also. ³⁶ These things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, 'Ye shall not break a bone of him.' ³⁷ And again another scripture saith, 'They shall look on him, whom they pierced.'
