John 19:31-32

³¹Therefore for it was the pask eve, that the bodies should not abide or dwell on the cross in the sabbath, for that was a great sabbath day, the Jews prayed Pilate, that the hips of them should be broken, and they should be taken away.

³²Therefore knights came, and they brake the thighs of the first, and of the other, that was crucified with him.
