  1. John 19:36 quotes Psalms 34:20

    Direct quotationHigh confidence

    John says the soldiers' not breaking Jesus' legs fulfilled the Scripture that none of His bones would be broken.

    Other responsible views
    • The Passover lamb: John's wording also matches the rule that no bone of the Passover lamb be broken (Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12). Many readers hear both texts, with the lamb in view since John dates the death to the Passover preparation.
