John

John 19:34–37

³⁴Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out. ³⁵The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

³⁶Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”^g ³⁷And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”^h
