19:36 scripture should be fulfilled. This volitional death of Jesus before His legs could be broken (John 19:31-33) was in fulfillment of the prophecy in Psalm 34:19-20. Also, Jesus was fulfilling the type of the sacrificial Passover lamb (I Corinthians 5:7), the bones of which were not to be broken (Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12).
