32. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus.
33. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs,
34. but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35. An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may [come to] believe.
36. For this happened so that the scripture passage might be fulfilled:“Not a bone of it will be broken.”
37. And again another passage says:“They will look upon him whom they have pierced.”
38. After this, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body.
39. Nicodemus, the one who had first come to him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds.
40. They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
41. Now in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
42. So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the tomb was close by.
