Pilate agreed, and he told the soldiers to break the men’s legs. They broke the legs of the men on each side of Jesus.
Then the soldiers nailed Jesus’s hands and feet to the cross, and they stood the cross up so that Jesus was high up off the ground. And they also did that to 2 other men. They put one of them on each side of Jesus.
Then they came to Jesus, and they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs.
