Who were Jesus' main opponents?
The Romans. Contrary to what some Christians still try and claim, the Jews and Jesus were not in conflict. Jesus was one of many, many young preachers claiming to be the 'messiah'. But the Romans, who ruled over Judea at that time, kept the Jews totally oppressed. There were lots of small Jewish groups, headed up by charismatic young Jewish men. Almost every single one of those men was crucified by the Romans. Jesus included. Only the Romans have ever used crucifixion. Back then this method of murder was forbidden by Jewish religious law, and it always has been. The Romans charged Jesus with 'sedition', which was a 'crime against Rome'. Jesus claimed to be the 'most powerful man in Rome' and no way was he going to be allowed to claim that and get away with it. In addition, remember that thousands of Jews were being crucified at that time, for no reason at all. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why were Jesus' legs not broken while on the cross?
Only John's Gospel mentions the legs of the other two condemned men being broken, making it clear that Jesus was only speared, with no bones broken. The Gospel explains that Jesus had already died, so it was not necesary to break his legs. The author of Johnwas making a comparison between Jesus and the Paschal lamb of Judaism, even changing the date of the crucifixion to occur on the day of the Passover, instead of the day after. Jews believe that the sacrificial lamb must be perfect and with no bones broken.
What did Saint Andrew do?

Why did the Romans often break the legs of crucified men?
The crucified man hanging on a cross was hung in such a way that he needed his legs to push himself up in order to breathe properly. This was due to the strain placed upon the lungs and the shock to the person's body due to them hanging by their own weight from the wrists. A crucified person would need to use the pierced feet in order to lift their body up enough to obtain air to breathe. They could continue like this for days at a time and usually die of dehydration or other injury, maybe even infection. Breaking the legs of the Crucified criminal was an act of mercy for a quicker death. It was also a way for the guard to be able to end his shift and head for home. Guards were often required to stand and watch those crucified till they died to keep friends from rescuing them. In the case of Christ, the guards were going to break his legs so that he wasn't on the cross over the course of the next day. When they checked him by thrusting the spear in his side, they found that he was already dead.

How many people were crucified alongside Jesus?
According the the Christian gospels, two other men were crucified with Jesus. These two men are variously described as thieves, criminals or rebels. Some fundamentalist Christians interpret the Gospels so that there were four men crucified with Jesus because of the different ways in which the men are described and because they take the Bible absolutely literally. So because one gospel says two "criminals" were crucified with Jesus and another says two "thieves" were crucified with Jesus there must have been four. Most people dismiss this and interpret the gospels more sensibly as there being only two other men crucified with Jesus.
