John 19:31-33

New American Standard Bible 1995

Care of the Body of Jesus

³¹ Then the Jews, because it was ^(A)the day of preparation, so that ^(B)the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (^[a]for that Sabbath was a ^(C)high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. ³² So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was ^(D)crucified with Him; ³³ but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
