“John also records
that the Last Supper occurred the day before Passover; thus the Savior was
likely bound and crucified at the same time the Passover lambs were being
sacrificed at the temple (see John 13:1). John also recounts that when Pilate
ordered the soldiers to break the legs of those being crucified to hasten their
deaths, the soldiers instead pierced Jesus’s side to make sure He was dead.
Just as the lambs of Israel were sacrificed without breaking any bones, so the
Son of God was sacrificed and the scriptures fulfilled: “A bone of him shall
not be broken” (John 19:36; see also Psalm 43:20).”

God,” Ensign, Apr. 2013, 48.
