NRSV Updated edition (2021 copyright
National Council of Christian Churches USA)
puts into a footnote
And another took a spear
and pierced his side, and
out came water and blood
[ some early Christian
interpreters would see here
in the Crucifixion narrative
an allusion to the creation
of Eve from the side of
Adam at Genesis chapter 2,
verses 21-24 ]
