A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken--The reference is to the paschal lamb, as to which this ordinance was stringent (Exo 12:46; Num 9:12. Compare Co1 5:7). But though we are to see here the fulfilment of a very definite typical ordinance, we shall, on searching deeper, see in it a remarkable divine interposition to protect the sacred body of Christ from the last indignity after He had finished the work given Him to do. Every imaginable indignity had been permitted before that, up to the moment of His death. But no sooner is that over than an Unseen hand is found to have provided against the clubs of the rude soldiers coming in contact with that temple of the Godhead. Very different from such violence was that spear-thrust, for which not only doubting Thomas would thank the soldier, but intelligent believers in every age, to whom the certainty of their Lord's death and resurrection is the life of their whole Christianity. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
That the scripture should be fulfilled - See Exo 12:46. John here regards the paschal lamb as an emblem of Christ; and as in the law it was commanded that a bone of that lamb should not be broken, so, in the providence of God, it was ordered that a bone of the Saviour should not be broken. The Scripture thus received a complete fulfillment respecting both the type and the antitype. Some have supposed, however, that John referred to Psa 34:20. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
A bone of it shall not be broken - This was originally spoken of the paschal lamb, an eminent type of Christ. Exo 12:46. |
7 Purge out [1571] therefore [3767] the old [3820] leaven [2219], that [2443] ye may be [5600] a new [3501] lump [5445], as [2531] ye are [2075] unleavened [106]. For [1063] even [2532] Christ [5547] our [2257] passover [3957] is sacrificed [2380] for [5228] us [2257]:
12 They shall leave [07604] none of it unto the morning [01242], nor break [07665] any bone [06106] of it: according to all the ordinances [02708] of the passover [06453] they shall keep [06213] it.
46 In one [0259] house [01004] shall it be eaten [0398]; thou shalt not carry forth [03318] ought of the flesh [01320] abroad [02351] out of the house [01004]; neither shall ye break [07665] a bone [06106] thereof.
20 He keepeth [08104] all his bones [06106]: not one [0259] of them [02007] is broken [07665].
46 In one [0259] house [01004] shall it be eaten [0398]; thou shalt not carry forth [03318] ought of the flesh [01320] abroad [02351] out of the house [01004]; neither shall ye break [07665] a bone [06106] thereof.
