19 Revised Standard Version Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

31Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.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.
32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; ἦλθον οὖν οἱ στρατιῶται, καὶ τοῦ μὲν πρώτου κατέαξαν τὰ σκέλη καὶ τοῦ ἀλλου τοῦ συσταυρωθέντος αὐτῷ·
33but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, 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 pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. ἀλλ' εἷς τῶν στρατιωτῶν λόγχῃ αὐτοῦ τὴν πλευρὰν ἐνυξεν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εὐθὺς αἷμα καὶ ὑδωρ.
35He who saw it has borne witness - his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth - that you also may believe. καὶ ὁ ἑωρακὼς μεμαρΤύρηκεν, καὶ ἀληθινὴ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία, καὶ ἐκεῖνος οἶδεν ὅτι ἀληθῆ λέγει, ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς πιστεύςητε.
36For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him 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 again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."- They shall look on him whom they have pierced Jn.19.37 | Zch.12.10καὶ πάλιν ἑτέρα γραφὴ λέγει Ὄψονται εἰς ὃν ἐξεκέντησαν.
