- Psalms 34:20
He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.
Commentary on Psalms 34:202 voices
Ver. 20. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. David had come off with kicks and cuffs, but no broken bones. No substantial injury occurs to the saints. Eternity will heal all their wounds. Their real self is safe; they may have flesh wounds, but no part of the essential fabric of their being shall be broken.
Charles Spurgeon· The Treasury of David (1869-1885)Reformed
There should also be certain bones of the inner person in which the bond of union and harmony of spiritual powers is collected. Just as the bones by their own firmness protect the tenderness of the flesh, so also in the church there are some who through their own constancy are able to carry the infirmities of the weak.
Basil of Caesarea· HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 16:13 (PS 34), 379Patristic
- Ezekiel 37:1–14
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones.
Commentary on Ezekiel 37:1–142 voices
(Chapter 37, verses 1 onwards) The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. And He led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. And He said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' And I answered, 'O Lord God, you know.'
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
The valley - The same word as the plain Eze 3:22; Eze 8:4. The dry bones represented the Israelites dispersed abroad, destitute of life national and spiritual.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- John 19:36
Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
Commentary on John 19:362 voices
A bone of it shall not be broken - This was originally spoken of the paschal lamb, an eminent type of Christ.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
Very different from such violence was that spear-thrust, for which not only doubting Thomas would thank the soldier, but intelligent believers in every age, to whom the certainty of their Lord's death and resurrection is the life of their whole Christianity.
