SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #567
And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken: and that they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and immediately there came out blood and water. (John 19:30-34)

TYPES FULFILLED BY OUR LORD CRUCIFIED:
1. The tree of knowledge of good and evil (Old Testament).
2. Issac, who himself, going up the hill, carried the wood on which his father bound him, to sacrifice him (Old Testament).
3. The paschal lamb (Old Testament).
4. The brazen serpent (Old Testament).
