31 It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews (people of praise) asked Pilate (armed with a spear) to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.

32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.

33 But when they came to Jesus (YHWH saves) and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
