John 19:36-38
Worldwide English (New Testament)
36 What the holy writings say came true. They say, `Not one of his bones shall be broken.'
37 They also say, `They shall look at the one into whom they stuck the spear.'
38 A man named Joseph, from the town of Arimathea, was a disciple of Jesus. But he did not say so because he was afraid of the leaders of the Jews. After all this had happened, he went to Pilate. He asked him to let him take Jesus' body away. Pilate let him. So he came and took his body.
