For these thingscame to passto fulfillthe Scripture,"NOT A BONEOF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN."
Thisis the wordof the LORDwhichHe spoketo Jehu,saying,"Your sonsto the fourthgeneration shall siton the throneof Israel."And soit was.
I am pouredout like water,And allmy bonesare out of joint;My heartis like wax;It is meltedwithinme.
He keepsallhis bones,Not oneof them is broken.
Allmy boneswill say,"LORD,whois likeYou, Who deliversthe afflictedfrom him whois toostrongfor him, And the afflictedand the needyfrom him who robshim?"
"It is to be eatenin a singlehouse;you are not to bringforthanyof the fleshoutsideof the house,norare you to breakany boneof it.
They shall leavenoneof it untilmorning,norbreaka boneof it; according to allthe statuteof the Passoverthey shall observeit.
Nowallthistook placeto fulfillwhatwas spokenby the Lordthroughthe prophet:
"I do not speakof allof you. I knowthe onesI have chosen;but [it is] that the Scripturemay be fulfilled,HE WHO EATSMY BREADHAS LIFTEDUP HIS HEELAGAINSTME.'
Sothey saidto one another,"Let us not tearit, but cast lotsfor it, [to decide] whoseit shall be"; [this was] to fulfillthe Scripture:"THEY DIVIDEDMY OUTER GARMENTSAMONGTHEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHINGTHEY CASTLOTS."
Afterthis,Jesus,knowingthat all thingshad alreadybeen accomplished,to fulfillthe Scripture,said,"I am thirsty."
