John 19:31-33

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³¹ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from hanging on the cross on the Sabbath—for that Sabbath was a very solemn and important one—the Jews requested Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away.

³² So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first one, and of the other who had been crucified with Him.

³³ But when they came to Jesus and they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
