31 Then the Jews, because it was Preparation, begged Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away, so that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the sabbath. For that sabbath was a high day.

32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with Him.

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