JOHN 19:31-34

³¹The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³²The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him:

³³but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

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