Can you please tell me where the scriptures are that explain about the death of Jesus. Specifically about His bones not<\/strong> being broken. I know that the Bible refers to His “broken” body. But I seem to remember in the Old Testament that it prophesied about no bones would be broken in Christ’s body.<\/p>\n Thank you.<\/p>\n\t “And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat it. But every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he may eat it. A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat it. In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones<\/em>” (Exodus 12:43-46). [Written about 1,500 years before Christ.]<\/p>\n “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken<\/em>” (Psalm 34:19-20). [Written about 1,000 years before Christ.]<\/p>\n “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth<\/em>” (Isaiah 53:7). [Written about 700 years before Christ.]<\/p>\n “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!<\/em>” (John 1:29).<\/p>\n “Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken”<\/em>” (John 19:31-36).<\/p>\n “Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth<\/em>” (I Corinthians 5:7-8).<\/p>\n “And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you<\/em>” (I Peter 1:17-20).<\/p>\n “And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit<\/em>” (II Peter 1:19-21).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Can you please tell me where the scriptures are that explain about the death of Jesus.
