Not one of them is broken. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A divine prediction that the bones of the righteous one will be preserved from being broken, despite facing multiple afflictions and potential death. *Historical context*: Theologians and scholars widely categorize this as a Messianic prophecy. It describes a specific physical outcome that contradicts the standard Roman execution practice of crurifragium (breaking the legs) to hasten death. *Related to*: ### He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: During the crucifixion of Jesus, Roman soldiers broke the legs of the two criminals executed with him but refrained from breaking Jesus' legs because he was already dead. *Historical context*: This event is historically recorded in the Gospel of [[John-19#v31|John 19:31]]-36. The author explicitly cites this preservation of bones as a fulfillment of scripture, which scholars link to [[Ps-34#v20|Psalm 34:20]] and the requirements for the Passover lamb in [[Exod-12#v46|Exodus 12:46]]. *Related to*: [[Ps-34#v20|Psalm 34:20]] --- #ai_prophecy
