Greek of the New Testament: ἐγένετο γὰρ ταῦτα ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ Ὀστοῦν οὐ συντριβήσεται αὐτοῦ
Hebrew (Masoretic text): לֹא יַשְׁאִירוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד בֹּקֶר וְעֶצֶם לֹא יִשְׁבְּרוּ בוֹ כְּכָל חֻקַּת הַפֶּסַח יַעֲשׂוּ אֹתוֹ
Septuagint (Numbers 9:12 in the Septuagint numbering): οὐ καταλείψουσιν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πρωί, ὀστοῦν οὐ συντρίψουσιν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ· κατὰ τὸν νόμον τοῦ ποιήσουσιν αὐτό.
