John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 19:12

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him ,.... From the time that Christ spoke the above words; or, as the Syriac version renders it, מטול הדא , "because of this", or on account of the words he had spoken; to which agree the Arabic and Ethiopic versions: he sought by all means, and studied every way to bring the Jews to agree to his release: his reasons were, because of the consciousness of guilt, and the danger of contracting more; the sense he might have of a Divine Being, to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 19:13

When Pilate therefore heard that saying ,.... Of the Jews, that a freeing of Jesus would show an unfriendliness to Caesar; and gave very broad hints that they would accuse him to Caesar of treachery and unfaithfulness, in letting go a man, that made pretensions to be a king in his territories; and knowing well the jealousies and suspicions of Tiberius, and fearing lest it would turn to his own disrepute and disadvantage, immediately he brought Jesus forth out of the judgment hall, the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 19:14

And it was the preparation of the passover ,.... So the Jews F24 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 43. 1. & 67. 1. say, that Jesus suffered on the eve of the passover; and the author of the blasphemous account of his life says F25 Toldos Jesu, p. 18. , it was the eve both of the passover and the sabbath; which account so far agrees with the evangelic history; but then this preparation of the passover was not of the passover lamb, for that had been prepared and eaten the night before.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 19:15

But they cried out, Away with him ,.... As a person hateful and loathsome to them, the sight of whom they could not bear; and this they said with great indignation and wrath, and with great vehemency, earnestness and importunacy, in a very clamorous way; repeating the words away with him : they were impatient until he was ordered away for execution; and nothing would satisfy them but the crucifixion of him; and therefore they say, crucify him ; which is also repeated in the Syriac... read more

Then delivered he him therefore ,.... Perceiving he could not by any means work upon them, and that nothing would satisfy them but his death; he therefore passed sentence on him, and gave him up to their will, unto them to be crucified ; as they requested, and which was done in a judicial way, and all by divine appointment, according to the counsel and foreknowledge of God: and they took Jesus and led him away ; directly from the judgment hall, out of the city to the place of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:5

And Pilate saith - The word Pilate, which we supply in our version, is added by one MS., the later Syriac, later Arabic, and the Coptic. Behold the man! - The man who, according to you, affects the government, and threatens to take away the empire from the Romans. Behold the man whom ye have brought unto me as an enemy to Caesar, and as a sower of the seeds of sedition in the land! In him I find no guilt; and from him ye have no occasion to fear any evil. read more

Crucify Him - Αυτον , which is necessary to the text, and which is wanting in the common editions, and is supplied by our version in Italics, is added here on the authority of almost every MS. and version of importance. As it is omitted in the common editions, it affords another proof, that they were not taken from the best MSS. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:7

We have a law - In Leviticus 24:14-16 , we find that blasphemers of God were to be put to death; and the chief priests having charged Jesus with blasphemy, they therefore voted that he deserved to die. See Matthew 26:65 , Matthew 26:66 . They might refer also to the law against false prophets, Deuteronomy 18:20 . The Son of God - It is certain that the Jews understood this in a very peculiar sense. When Christ called himself the Son of God, they understood it to imply positive... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:8

He was the more afraid - While Jesus was accused only as a disturber of the peace of the nation, which accusation Pilate knew to be false, he knew he could deliver him, because the judgment in that case belonged to himself; but when the Jews brought a charge against him of the most capital nature, from their own laws, he then saw that he had every thing to fear, if he did not deliver Jesus to their will. The Sanhedrin must not be offended - the populace must not be irritated: from the former... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:9

Whence art thou? - This certainly does not mean, From what country art thou? for Pilate knew this well enough; but it appears he made this inquiry to know who were the parents of Christ; what were his pretensions, and whether he really were a demigod, such as the heathens believed in. To this question we find our Lord gave no answer. He had already told him that his kingdom was not of this world; and that he came to erect a spiritual kingdom, not a temporal one: John 18:36 , John 18:37 .... read more
