Which gospel mentions the Roman soldier piercing Jesus' body with a spear?

AnswerJohn's Gospel tells of the Roman soldier piercing Jesus' side with a spear. The author seems to have known more about Jewish and Roman customs in the first century than did any of the other gospel authors. He knew that the soldiers would break the legs of crucified men if they wanted to hasten death in order to avoid leaving the bodies on the crosses during the Jewish Sabbath. However, he wanted to draw a parallel between Jesus and the paschal lamb, which must be perfect and have no broken bones; he probably also wanted to make his post-resurrection appearances of Jesus easier to explain. So, he had the soldiers break the legs of the other two men on the crosses, but only pierce Jesus' side with a spear.
