“Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.”
King James Version (KJV)
19:30 It is finished - My suffering: the purchase of man's redemption. He delivered up his spirit - To God, #Mt 27:50|.
19:31 Lest the bodies should remain on the cross on the Sabbath - Which they would have accounted a profanation of any Sabbath, but of that in particular. For that Sabbath was a great day - Being not only a Sabbath, but the second day of the feast of unleavened bread (from whence they reckoned the weeks to pentecost:) and also the day for presenting and offering the sheaf of new corn: so that it was a treble solemnity.
19:34 Forthwith there came out blood and water - It was strange, seeing he was dead, that blood should come out; more strange, that water also; and most strange of all, that both should come out immediately, at one time, and yet distinctly. It was pure and true water, as well as pure and true blood. The asseveration of the beholder and testifier of it, shows both the truth and greatness of the miracle and mystery.
Then came the souldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other, which was crucified with him.
