John 19:31-34

³¹The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³²So 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 broke not his legs;

³⁴but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
