John 19:35-37
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
35 An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows[a] that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may [come to] believe.(A) 36 For this happened so that the scripture passage might be fulfilled:
“Not a bone of it will be broken.”(B)
37 And again another passage says:
“They will look upon him whom they have pierced.”(C)
The Burial of Jesus.[b]
