32. So the soldiers came, and they broke the legs of the first, and the other who was crucified with him.

33. But when they came to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they did not break his legs,

34. but one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed.

35. And he who saw testified, and his testimony is true; He knows that he speaks the truth so that you will believe.

36. For this has come to pass, that the Scripture may be fulfilled: let not His bone be broken.

37. Likewise, in another place the Scripture says, "They will look upon Him whom they have pierced."

38. After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus, but secretly out of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to take down the body of Jesus; and Pilate allowed it. He went and took down the body of Jesus.

39. Nicodemus also came, who had come to Jesus at night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloe, about a hundred liters.

40. So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in swaddling clothes with spices, as the Jews usually bury.

41. In the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden there was a new sepulchre, in which no one had yet been laid.

42. Jesus was laid there for the sake of the Friday of the Jews, because the tomb was near.

Chapter 20

1. On the very first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, when it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb.

2. So he ran and came to Simon Peter and to another disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."
