31 Entonces los Judíos, para que los cuerpos no quedasen en el madero en el sábado, porque era la víspera <I>de la Pascua</I> , pues era el gran día del sábado, rogaron a Pilato que se les quebrasen las piernas, y fuesen quitados.

Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders 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.
