Joh 19:32 | MHM | STEP | v. 32 : Pilate agreed, and the soldiers broke the legs of the two thieves crucified with Jesus to speed up their deaths (John 19:32 ). This caused terrible pain, but one thief had already received Jesus’ promise of paradise. Even though both died painfully, the believer thief had hope beyond death. This shows that even people who suffer greatly at the end can have peace if they belong to Christ.
