9 Moses at once made a serpent of copper+ and placed it upon the signal pole;+ and it did occur that if a serpent had bitten a man and he gazed+ at the copper serpent, he then kept alive.+
31 Then the Jews, since it was Preparation,+ in order that the bodies might not remain+ upon the torture stakes on the Sabbath, (for the day of that Sabbath was a great one,)+ requested Pilate to have their legs broken and the [bodies]* taken away.
