John19:33

33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs .

They brake the two other malefactors legs, but not Christs, because they found him dead. Is is very possible in a natural course, that of three men dying in the same manner, one may die sooner then another; but it is but rationally presumed, that the cause of our Saviours quicker death, was not the failure of his spirits sooner, but his own voluntary surrender of his Soul.
