João 19:32 Meaning and Commentary

John 19:32

Then came the soldiers
Pilate having granted the Jews what they desired; either the soldiers that crucified Christ, and the others with him, and watched their bodies, being ordered by Pilate, went from the place where they sat; or a fresh company, which were sent for this purpose, came from the city:

and brake the legs of the first;
they came unto, which whether it was he that was crucified on his right hand, and was the penitent believer in him, as some have thought, is not certain:

and of the other which was crucified with him;
who, if the former is true, must be he that reviled him; and was this their position, it was a lively emblem of the last day, when the sheep shall stand at the right, and the goats on the left hand of Christ.

João 19:32 In-Context

30 Então Jesus, depois de ter tomado o vinagre, disse: está consumado. E, inclinando a cabeça, entregou o espírito.
31 Ora, os judeus, como era a preparação, e para que no sábado não ficassem os corpos na cruz, pois era grande aquele dia de sábado, rogaram a Pilatos que se lhes quebrassem as pernas, e fossem tirados dali.
32 Foram então os soldados e, na verdade, quebraram as pernas ao primeiro e ao outro que com ele fora crucificado;
33 mas vindo a Jesus, e vendo que já estava morto, não lhe quebraram as pernas;
34 contudo um dos soldados lhe furou o lado com uma lança, e logo saiu sangue e água.
