31 It was preparation day, and the Jewish leaders didn't want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath day (in fact this was a special Sabbath), so they asked Pilate to break the legs, so that the bodies could be removed.

32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first one and then the other of those crucified with Jesus,

33 but when they came to Jesus they saw he was already dead, so they didn't break his legs.
