Exegesis
The cited line ostoun ou suntribesetai autou {Ὀστοῦν οὐ συντριβήσεται αὐτοῦ | O-stoûn ou sun-tri-bḗ-se-tai au-toû} functions appositionally to explain the specific Scripture being fulfilled. Ostoun ‘bone’ appears in the nominative as the subject of the future passive verb suntribesetai ‘will be broken, will be crushed’, while autou ‘of Him’ is a genitive of possession referring to Jesus. The negative particle ou precedes the verb, giving strong denial in the future indicative: the breaking of His bones will not occur.
In context — John 19:36
For these things happened so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not a bone of Him will be broken.”
