John 19:32-40

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.

³⁵He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

³⁶These things were done so that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”

³⁷Another Scripture says, “They will look on Him who they pierced.”

³⁸After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could take the body of Jesus away; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.

³⁹Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing about a hundred Roman pounds of a mixture of myrrh and aloes.

⁴⁰So they took the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in strips of linen with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
