The piercing of the side of Jesus

Saint John - Chapter 19

The piercing of the side of Jesus. J-J Tissot

[33] Ad Jesum autem cum venissent, ut viderunt eum jam mortuum, non fregerunt ejus crura,
But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

[34] sed unus militum lancea latus ejus aperuit, et continuo exivit sanguis et aqua.
But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.

[35] Et qui vidit, testimonium perhibuit : et verum est testimonium ejus. Et ille scit quia vera dicit : ut et vos credatis.
And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe.

[36] Facta sunt enim haec ut Scriptura impleretur : Os non comminuetis ex eo.
For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.

[37] Et iterum alia Scriptura dicit : Videbunt in quem transfixerunt.
And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
