John 19:31-34

³¹Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³²So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

³³But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

³⁴But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.
