Normally the soldiers of a crucifixion, after too much time wore on, would break the victims' legs so that they couldn't hold themselves up and be able to continue breathing. In other words, basically when they wanted to end this, and wanted to get on with something else, they would break the legs so that they would collapse and suffocate. The executioner said, in this instance, it wasn't necessary to break Jesus' legs because he was already dead. But, for good measure, he stuck a spear in his side and blood and water came out---a further indication of death. |
