The Soldier and His Spear

<p>‘But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:<br> ‘But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.<br> ‘…<br> ‘For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.<br> ‘And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.’<br> <em>—John 19:33–37</em></p>
