This day was Preparation day. {\cf2\super [252]} The next day was a special Sabbath day. {\cf2\super [253]} The Jewish leaders did not want the bodies to stay on the cross on the Sabbath day. So they asked Pilate to order that the legs of the men be broken \{to make them die sooner\}. And they asked that the bodies of the men be taken down from the crosses.
