John 19:33 in context

The verses around it, from John 19.

29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.

30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.

31 It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.

32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.

33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

35 The 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.

36 Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”

37 And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
