John 19:31
Because it was the preparation. For the passover. See
John 19:14.
That sabbath was an high day. A double Sabbath, both the weekly
Sabbath and a passover Sabbath. It was usual Roman custom to leave
crucified bodies on the cross, but out of deference to their wishes
Pilate consents that the legs of the victims should be broken in order
to hasten death, so that the bodies might be taken down and buried. The
legs were crushed with a hammer like a sledge and the shock would bring
speedy death.
