In Context

31 The 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.

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

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

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

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

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