have you ever wondered how they,Jesus and the other two men were taken down?

[Tym Owen Da Enill]

Crucifixion kills by slow suffocation—arms stretched out, lungs fighting for air, and every breath a struggle. To breathe, you have to push up with your legs, so when the soldiers broke the legs of the two thieves, they died fast. But Jesus was already dead. A soldier stabbed His side, and blood and water poured out—signs of heart or lung failure, exactly what happens when death sets in. Joseph of Arimathea got permission from Pilate, and with Nicodemus, they brought burial spices and linen. They likely climbed a ladder, used tools to pull the nails from His hands and feet, and carefully lowered His body down, maybe with a cloth sling or by hand. This wasn’t symbolic—it was physical, brutal, and final. They wrapped Him, laid Him in a borrowed tomb, and sealed it. Jesus didn’t faint. He died, fully and completely, and He was taken down with care and courage.

John 19:31–37 (KJV)
“But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” (vv. 33–34)

Isaiah 53:9 (KJV)
“And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death...”

Mark 15:42–46 (KJV)
“And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea... went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus...”

On the third day, Jesus didn’t stay in that tomb—He rose, just like He said He would. The stone was rolled away, the grave clothes left behind, and death was crushed under His feet. He didn’t rise in secret—He showed Himself to Mary, to the disciples, and to over five hundred others. This wasn’t a myth or a vision. It was flesh and blood, scars still in His hands. His resurrection is the proof that He is who He said He is—the Son of God, the Savior, the risen Lord. Through Him, we have forgiveness of sins, not by works, not by religion, but by grace through faith. He beat sin, He beat hell, and He opened the way to life that never ends.

Matthew 28:5–6 (KJV)
“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

Romans 10:9 (KJV)
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

John 11:25–26 (KJV)
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die...”

There was likely a rope and pulley system to both put the cross into place and to pull the cross from the hole it which it was placed.  The foregoing, as well as removing the spikes from the hands and feet, were likely done by Roman soldiers.

You're right I looked up procedures for Roman crucifixion and yes, the soldiers would have removed him once they determined he was dead so as to make room for the next crucifixion. ✝️
