³¹The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
³²Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
³³But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
³⁵And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
³⁶For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
³⁸And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
³⁹And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
⁴⁰Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
⁴¹Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
⁴²There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
