In Context

34+ 19:34. MP: “Poured out like water” Combined context refers to piercing (Ps 22:16) causing internal fluids to pour out (Ps 22:14). Could also reference the “pouring out” of a drink offering. Only during the Great Hossanah feast, on the 7th day of Sukkot, is both water and wine poured out together before God. (See notes on Is 55:1-2). (Ps 22:14a) + 19:34. MP: Messiah is “pierced / wounded for our transgressions”. Note: There is no Bible punishment or law for death that specifically involves piercing; stoning or banishment is more common. (Is 53:5a) + 19:34 (34-37) MP: The Messiah’s body will be pierced. (Zech 12:10a) However one of the soldiers + 19:34 (+36) MP: The ability to count all bones implies no divided or broken bones, therefore none of his bones are broken (Ps 34:21), just as the Pesac ·Passover· lamb (Ex 12:46). (See also Ps 22:14b, 22:14c, 34:19-20). (Ps 22:17a) pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

36For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “Not one of his bones will be broken.” + 19:36. Quoted from Ex 12:46; Num 9:12; Ps 34:20
