JOHN 19:36 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.”
These things occurred so that the scripture might be fulfilled, 'None of his bones shall be broken.' — John's fulfillment formula connects the preserved bones to Psalm 34:20, the righteous sufferer whose bones God keeps intact, and to Exodus 12:46 and Numbers 9:12, the Passover lamb's unbroken bones. The correlation establishes Jesus theologically as the Passover lamb whose sacrificial death inaugurates the final exodus.
