But when they came to Him and saw that He
was already dead, they did not break His legs. Instead, one of the
officers pierced His side with a spear and, from His side, came blood
and water.
He who saw it bore record, and his record is true. He knows that he
told the truth so that you might believe. These things were done so
that this scripture would be fulfilled: A bone of Him will not be
broken. And another scripture said: They will look on Him whom they
pierced.
After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who, for fear of the Jews, was a
secret disciple of Jesus, asked Pilate if he could take Jesus' body.
Pilate gave him permission. Nicodemus, who went to Jesus at night, was
with Joseph. He brought myrrh and aloes. They took the body of Jesus,
wound it in linen cloth, and prepared it with the spices as was the
Jewish burial custom. In the place where He was crucified there was a
new sepulchre in the garden area. There they laid Jesus.
20. Early on the first day of the week, when it was still dark,
Mary Magdalene went to the sepulchre. She saw that the stone had been
taken away from the entrance. She ran to find Simon Peter and the other
disciple whom Jesus loved. She said to them, They have taken the Lord
out of the sepulchre and we do not know where they have laid Him. Peter
and the other disciple started toward the sepulchre.
