If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses would not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?

If he called them 'gods' to whom the word of God came--and the scripture cannot be broken--

Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), asked Pilate that their legs could be broken and they could be taken away.

For these [things] happened in order that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not a bone of his will be broken."
