Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

and the fasts, and the "high days."[155]

Fragments from Peter of Alexandria

And again the same evangelist says: "The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath-day (for that Sabbath-day was an high day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away."[28]

Gospel of Nicodemus I The Acts of Pilate

He therefore sent soldiers, and they found the two robbers yet breathing, and they broke their legs; but finding Jesus dead, they did not touch Him at all, except that a soldier speared Him in the right side, and immediately there came forth blood and water.[112]
