Quotation · John 19:36
Go to John 19:36John does not say which passage he quotes. Exodus 12:46 and Numbers 9:12 give it as a command about the Passover lamb (“you shall not break”); John says it in the passive: “will not be broken.”
Formula: ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ “so that the Scripture might be fulfilled” (John 19:36)

Greek of the New Testament: ἐγένετο γὰρ ταῦτα ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ Ὀστοῦν οὐ συντριβήσεται αὐτοῦ
Hebrew (Masoretic text): בְּבַיִת אֶחָד יֵאָכֵל לֹא תוֹצִיא מִן הַבַּיִת מִן הַבָּשָׂר חוּצָה וְעֶצֶם לֹא תִשְׁבְּרוּ בוֹ
Septuagint (Exodus 12:46 in the Septuagint numbering): ἐν οἰκίᾳ μιᾷ βρωθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐξοίσετε ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας τῶν κρεῶν ἵξω, καὶ ὀστοῦν οὐ συντρίψετε ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ.
In the Septuagint verse that most resembles it, at most 2 consecutive words match the Greek of the NT. The transcription has reading errors, so a match may not show.
