19:32-37 Where are these saying in Scripture?
V 33-36 fulfilled King David's prophecy in Psa 34:19-20 (CP V 33-36 with Psa 34:19-20). V 33-36 also typologically fulfilled one of the ordinances of the Old Testament Feast of the Passover laid down by God in Exodus: no bones of the Passover lamb were to be broken (CP Ex 12:3-13, 46, also Nu 9:12).
The Passover lamb was an Old Testament type of Christ and the redemption He provides in His sacrificial death (CP Jn 1:29; 1Cor 5:7; 1Pe 1:18-20). V 37 in Jn 19 fulfilled Zech 12:10 (CP V 37 with Zech 12:10).
