John 19:31-32 NKJV - Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.
Mark 15:42-44 NKJV - Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.
Answer:
These are the embedded sub incidents of one main incident. At first the Jews asked Pilate, and then Pilate sent his soldiers. They came and broke the legs of the first and of the other. But, when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead. They did not break His legs. But, one soldier pierced His side with a spear to see if he is really dead.
Thereafter, when evening had come, Joseph of Arimathea taking courage went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate marveled when he came to know that Jesus was already dead. Refer Mark 15:44-46. “Pilate marveled that He was already dead and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. And when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph”.
All these incidents happened serially according to the time. Is there any contradiction in these sentences? It is self-creation of the atheist. To write such question in your book, it looks as though, you tried to put this book to appear as big one. It is not a good work from you. So, please rectify your ways and be the disciple of the Lord!
