Aug 16, 2016 at 1:00 comment added Paul Chernoch The Roman guard broke the legs of the thieves to hasten their deaths. He expected to have to do the same for Jesus, but found him dead already, hours before most men died of crucifixion with out leg breaking. His death was not just due to the grueling pain of the procedure and previous beatings, but the spiritual weight of bearing the sins of all mankind. Thus it is likely that Jesus died early enough in the crucifixion to still be capable of speech.

Remember that "I think..." isn't an acceptable answer, since this site isn't about personal interpretation. See How we are different than other sites? and What makes a good supported answer?
