Bible in Basic English

32

So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

33

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

34

But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

35

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

36

These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

37

And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.

38

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

39

And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

40

Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

41

Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

42

So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.
