Οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι, ἵνα μὴ μείνῃ ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ τὰ σώματα ἐν τῷ σαββάτῳ, ἐπεὶ Παρασκευὴ ἦν—ἦν γὰρ μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνου τοῦ σαββάτου—ἠρώτησαν τὸν Πιλάτον ἵνα κατεαγῶσιν αὐτῶν τὰ σκέλη, καὶ ἀρθῶσιν.

RBT Hebrew Literal:
Therefore the Casters, since she was a preparation, so that the Bodies within the Inner Cessation would not remain on the Stake, for the Day of that one was mega, they questioned the Javelin so that the Legs [lower body] of themselves should be shattered in pieces and be lifted up.
"Small Stone" Peter staked in Rome

Legs of the body "lifted up" and fractured/factions.

(Jacopo di Cione 1370-71)

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Then the Jews, that the bodies remain not upon the cross in the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for great was the day of that sabbath,) asked Pilate that their legs be broken, and they be taken away.
LITV Translation:
Then, since it was Preparation, that the bodies not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for great was the day of that sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be taken away.
ESV Translation:
Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would 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.
