The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:

Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.

The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus.

So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

Therefore, the soldiers approached, and, indeed, they broke the legs of the first one, and of the other who was crucified with him.

Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and then those of the other who had been crucified with Jesus;

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.
