I'm sorry - I somehow missed your comment to me.

Yes, re.Isaiah. Yes, re. the legs were broken of those crucified to hasten death. I wish to make a slight modification to what you wrote, though: it is my understanding that 'normally', those who were crucified did not have their legs broken, but that they were left to agonize interminably on their cross until they finally succumbed. Good Friday was a special case because of the high Jewish holiday, and the appeal to Pilate that the bodies not be displayed during that time brought on the breaking of the legs of the two criminals.

You are correct - I failed to take into consideration - Friday (Passover) Thanks.
