John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:30

And they spit upon him ,.... The Syriac and Persic versions add, "upon his face", which he did not hide from spitting; see Isaiah 1:6 , and so what with sweat, by being hurried from place to place, and with blood trickling down from his temples, scratched with thorns, and with the spittle of these filthy soldiers, his visage was more marred than any man's, and his form than the sons of men, Isaiah 52:14 . And took the reed , or "cane", which was put into his right hand, and smote... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:31

And after that they had mocked him ,.... Gone through the whole farce, and glutted themselves with derision of him, and with sport and diversion with him, they took the robe off from him ; it belonging to one of their company, and put his own raiment on him ; partly that he might be known to be the selfsame person that was condemned and committed to them, which they now brought forth to crucify; and partly, that the four soldiers that were appointed to be the executioners, might have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:32

And as they came out ,.... Of the city; for no execution was made, neither in the court of judicature, nor in the city, but at some distance; as it was at stoning, so at crucifixion F8 Misn. Sanhedrin, c. 6. sect. 1. : "when judgment was finished, they brought him out to be stoned; the place of stoning was without the sanhedrim, as it is said, Leviticus 24:14 , "bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp". Upon which the gloss and Gemara say F9 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:33

And when they were come to a place called Golgotha ,.... The true pronunciation is "Golgoltha", and so it is read in Munster's Hebrew Gospel. It is a Syriac word, in which language letters are often left out: in the Syriac version of this place, the first "l" is left out, and the latter retained, and it is read "Gogoltha": and so, in the Persic, "Gagulta"; and in the Arabic, "Gagalut". The Ethiopic version reads it, "Golgotha"; and so, Dr. Lightfoot observes, it is read by the Samaritan... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:34

They gave him vinegar to drink ,.... It was a custom with the Jews F15 T. Bab. Avoda Zara, fol. 12. 2. when "a man went out to be executed, to give him to drink a grain of frankincense in a cup of wine, that his understanding might be disturbed, as it is said, Proverbs 31:6 . "Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts"; and the tradition is, that the honourable women in Jerusalem gave this freely; but if they did not, it was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:35

And they crucified him ,.... That is, the soldiers: they laid the cross upon the ground, and stretched Christ upon it; they extended his two arms as far as they could, to the transverse part of it, and nailed his hands unto it: his two feet they fixed by each other on a basis, in the body of the cross, through which they also drove nails; and then raising it up, fixed it in the earth, and left him hanging on it till he expired. This death was not only painful and cruel, but exceedingly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:36

And sitting down, they watched him there. That is, the soldiers, after they had crucified Jesus, and parted his garments, sat down on the ground at the foot of the cross, and there watched him, lest his disciples should take him down; though there was no need to fear that, since they were few, and weak, and wanted courage, and were in the utmost dread and consternation themselves; or lest the people, who were very changeable with respect to Christ, one day saying Hosanna to the son of David,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:37

And set up over his head his accusation written ,.... The Evangelist John calls it a "title", John 19:19 , and Luke, a "superscription", Luke 23:38 , and Mark, the "superscription of his accusation", Mark 15:26 , it was what contained the sum and substance of what he was accused, and for which he was condemned, and suffered. The Syriac and Persic versions here render it, "the cause of his death". It was written by Pilate in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, that all might read it; and by his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:38

Then were there two thieves crucified with him ,.... Which seems contrary to one of their canons, which runs thus; ביום אחד . אין דנין שנים , "they do not judge two in one day" F25 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 35. 1. & 46. 1. Bemidbar Rabba, sect. 8. fol. 190. 1. , unless they were both in the same crime, and died the same death: but here were three persons, Jesus, and these two malefactors, condemned and executed in one, and the same day: these two thieves were led out with... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:39

And they that passed by ,.... In the road to or from Jerusalem; for, it seems, the crosses were placed by the wayside; or they who passed by the cross, the populace that came from Jerusalem, on purpose to see the sight, reviled him , or "blasphemed him": they spoke all manner of evil of him, they could think of, to which he answered not a word; and which may teach us patience under the revilings of men: this was foretold of him, Psalm 89:51 , "they have reproached the footsteps of... read more
