John 19:31-38

³¹The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should 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.

³²Then came the soldiers, 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 dead already, they broke not his legs:

³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came out blood and water.

³⁵And he that saw it , testified, and his testimony is true: and he knoweth that he speaketh truth, that ye may believe.

³⁶For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁸And after this, Joseph of Arimathea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.
