Jesus’ legs not broken; a soldier pierces his side

예수의 다리는 꺾지 아니하고 한 군병이 창으로 옆구리를 찌름

John 19:31–37: the Jews, because it is the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), ask of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. The soldiers come and break the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Jesus, but when they come to Jesus and see that he is already dead, they don’t break his legs. However, one of the soldiers pierces his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water come out. “He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.” For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.” Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
