Contextual Overview

31The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, since it was the Preparation (for that Sabbath day was a great one), asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they [are] taken away. 32The soldiers, therefore, came, and they indeed broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him,33and having come to Jesus, when they saw Him already having been dead, they did not break His legs; 34but one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately there came forth blood and water; 35and he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true, and that one has known that he speaks true things, that you also may believe. 36For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, "A bone of Him will not be broken"; 37and again another Writing says, "They will look to 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.
