John 19:31-42

31The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away. 32The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him; 33but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs, 34but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. 35And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe. 36For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken. 37And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 38And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus. 39And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight]. 40They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial. 41But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. 42There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
