John 19:31-34

³¹Because it was the Preparation Day, the Jews asked Pilate for the prisoners’ legs to be broken, and that they might be taken away, so that the bodies wouldn’t stay on the cross on the Sabbath (because that Sabbath was a special one).

³²Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other man who was crucified with Jesus,

³³but when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they didn’t break His legs.

³⁴Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
