19 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

31Because it was the eve of Passover, Or: Because it was Friday in Passover ... the Jews were anxious that the bodies should not remain on the cross for the coming Sabbath, since that Sabbath was a day of great solemnity; so they requested Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.The Piercing of Jesus' Side Jn.19.31-37 (Golgotha)Οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι, ἐπεὶ παρασκευὴ ἦν, ἵνα μὴ μείνῃ ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ τὰ σώματα ἐν τῷ σαββάτῳ, ἦν γὰρ μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνου τοῦ σαββάτου, ἠρώτησαν τὸν Πιλᾶτον ἵνα κατεαγῶσιν αὐτῶν τὰ σκέλη καὶ ἀρθῶσιν.
32The soldiers accordingly came to the first of his fellow-victims and to the second, and broke their legs; ἦλθον οὖν οἱ στρατιῶται, καὶ τοῦ μὲν πρώτου κατέαξαν τὰ σκέλη καὶ τοῦ ἀλλου τοῦ συσταυρωθέντος αὐτῷ·
33but when they came to Jesus, they found that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs. ἐπὶ δὲ τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐλθόντες, ὡς εἶδον ἠδη αὐτὸν τεθνηκότα, οὐ κατέαξαν αὐτοῦ τὰ σκέλη,
34But one of the soldiers stabbed his side with a lance, and at once there was a flow of blood and water. ἀλλ' εἷς τῶν στρατιωτῶν λόγχῃ αὐτοῦ τὴν πλευρὰν ἐνυξεν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εὐθὺς αἷμα καὶ ὑδωρ.
35This is vouched for by an eyewitness, whose evidence is to be trusted. He knows that he speaks the truth, so that you too may believe; καὶ ὁ ἑωρακὼς μεμαρΤύρηκεν, καὶ ἀληθινὴ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία, καὶ ἐκεῖνος οἶδεν ὅτι ἀληθῆ λέγει, ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς πιστεύςητε.
36for this happened in fulfilment of the text of Scripture: 'No bone of his shall be broken.'- Not a bone of him shall be broken Jn.19.36 | Ps.34.20 | Ex.12.46 | Nu.9.12ἐγένετο γὰρ ταῦτα ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ, Ὀστοῦν οὐ συντριβήσεται αὐτοῦ.
37And another text says, 'They shall look on him whom they pierced.'- They shall look on him whom they have pierced Jn.19.37 | Zch.12.10καὶ πάλιν ἑτέρα γραφὴ λέγει Ὄψονται εἰς ὃν ἐξεκέντησαν.
