Текст песни BWV 245 - 36. Die Juden aber

Evangelist
But since it was the preparation,
The Jews therefore, bodies should not remain upon the cross
Saturday - for that Sabbath was a high day -
asked Pilate to kill
they lower leg and remove them.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first,
and the other which was crucified with him.
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead,
they brake not his legs:
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,
and forthwith came there out blood and water.
And he that saw it bare record, and his testimony is true;
he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled:
A bone of him shall not be broken.
And again another scripture saith,
They shall look on Him whom they pierced.
