Contextual Overview

31 Now because it was Friday the Jews said, Let not these bodies remain on their crosses because the sabbath is dawning; for that sabbath was a great day. So they besought Pilate to have the legs of those who were crucified broken, and to have them lowered down. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first one, and of the other one who was crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already, so they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And he who saw it testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows well that what he said is true, that you also may believe. 36 For these things happened that the scripture might be fulfilled, which said, Not even a bone shall be broken in him; 37 And again another scripture which said, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then came the soldiers,.... Pilate having granted the Jews what they desired; either the soldiers that crucified Christ, and the others with him, and watched their bodies, being ordered by Pilate, went from the place where they sat; or a fresh company, which were sent for this purpose, came from the city:

and brake the legs of the first; they came unto, which whether it was he that was crucified on his right hand, and was the penitent believer in him, as some have thought, is not certain:

and of the other which was crucified with him; who, if the former is true, must be he that reviled him; and was this their position, it was a lively emblem of the last day, when the sheep shall stand at the right, and the goats on the left hand of Christ.
