COMMENT - Comparing Translations

New Testament Nicholas King
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.
