John 19:30-32

New Century Version

³⁰ When Jesus tasted the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and died.

³¹ This day was Preparation Day, and the next day was a special Sabbath day. Since the religious leaders did not want the bodies to stay on the cross on the Sabbath day, they asked Pilate to order that the legs of the men be broken^[a] and the bodies be taken away. ³² So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man on the cross beside Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the man on the other cross beside Jesus.
