The New Testament
Freshly translated with a
cutting-edge commentary.
Nicholas King.
John 19:37. And again another Scripture says:
"They shall look on [him] whom they have pierced."
Commentary: Jesus' opponents once more show themselves concerned about ritual purity; even in death, however, Jesus stands for something far more exalted. His legs remain unbroken; his corpse royally discharge blood and water; he fulfils Scripture.
