In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth any of the flesh outside of the house; neither shall you break a bone of it.
All Commentaries on Exodus 12:46 Go To Exodus 12
John Chrysostom
AD 407
That wellknown prophecy likewise was fulfilled: “Not a bone of him shall you break.” For even if this was spoken with reference to the lamb among the Jews, the type preceded for the sake of truth and was, rather, fulfilled in this event. Moreover, that is why the Evangelist cited the prophet. Since he might not seem to be worthy of credence because he was repeatedly making reference to his own testimony, he summoned Moses to testify that this not only did not take place by accident but that it had been foretold in writing from of old. This is the meaning of that famous prophecy: “Not a bone of him shall be broken.”
