John 19:32 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ver. 32,33. They brake the two other malefactors legs, but not Christ s, because they found him dead. It is very possible in a natural course, that of three men dying in the same manner, one may die sooner than another; but it is but rationally presumed, that the cause of our Saviour's quicker death, was not the failure of his spirits sooner, but his own voluntary surrender of his soul.

John 19:32

32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
