| Ostervald (French) (OST) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 31 Or, les Juifs, de peur que les corps ne demeurassent sur la croix le jour du sabbat (car c'était la préparation, et ce sabbat était un grand jour), demandèrent à Pilate qu'on rompît les jambes aux crucifiés, et qu'on les enlevât. | 31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. |
