31Now then, because it was Preparation Day, so that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews requested Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be removed.
32Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.
33But upon coming to Jesus, they did not break His legs, since they saw that He had already died.
34But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
