John 19:31-37
31Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation, so that the bodies wouldn`t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;
33but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn`t break his legs.
34However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you also may believe.
36For these things happened, that the scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken."
37Again another scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."
