Gospel of Matthew 27:49 second half

 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 ]
