Re: Hmm.... historical question with religious overtones... sorry
As some mentioned here, breaking the legs sped up the death process.
This did have something to do with the sabbath because the Jews needed to get everything over with so as not to break any sabbath rules. You'll notice this in John. 19:31 Also, many believe (including myself) as mentioned in John 19:36, that Jesus legs not being broken were in fulfillment of a prophecy from several Old Testament passages. I think the process went quite quickly after the legs were broken. I've never heard of someone being let go as one poster mentioned...I'll have to look into that. |
