John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 19:28

After this ,.... After he had committed his mother to the care of John, which was about the sixth hour, before the darkness came over the land: and three hours after this was the following circumstance, which was not without the previous knowledge of Christ: Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished ; or just upon being accomplished, were as good as finished; and as they were to be, would be in a very short time; even all things relating to his sufferings, and the circumstances... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:28

I thirst - The scripture that referred to his drinking the vinegar is Psalm 69:21 . The fatigue which he had undergone, the grief he had felt, the heat of the day, and the loss of blood, were the natural causes of this thirst. This he would have borne without complaint; but he wished to give them the fullest proof of his being the Messiah, by distinctly marking how every thing relative to the Messiah, which had been written in the prophets, had its complete fulfillment in him. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:28

Verse 28 28.Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished. John purposely passes by many things which are related by the other three Evangelists. He now describes the last act, which was an event of the greatest importance.When John says that a vessel was placed there, he speaks of it as a thing that was customary. There has been much controversy on this subject; but I agree with those who think (and, indeed, the custom is proved by histories) that it was a kind of beverage usually... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 19:28

It does not come within the purpose of John to record the portents which attended the final scene—either the supernatural darkness on the one hand, or the rending of the veil of the temple on the other. He does not record the visions of the saints, nor the testimony of the centurion. He does not record the further quotation of Psalms 22:1-31 .; the cry, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" nor the misinterpretation of the multitudes; nor the jeer at his dying agonies. But he does record two of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 19:28

The fifth word from the cross. This is both the shortest of all the dying utterances of Jesus, and it is the one which is most closely related to himself. It came from the parched lips of the Divine victim towards the close of his agony, and after the darkness which endured from the sixth to the ninth hour. Most touching in itself, it has its spiritual significance for us. I. THIS CRY REMINDS US THAT OUR LORD JESUS SHARED OUR HUMAN NATURE AND ITS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 19:28

Suffering, yet not ascetic. Each of the seven words from the cross, if they are to be appreciated at their full value, must be looked at in the light of the other six. Especially is this the case here. This word comes the fifth in order. The first three words show Jesus thinking of the needs and sufferings of others rather than of his own. The fourth word shows him feeling mental suffering far more than bodily. While Jesus felt forsaken of the Father, the needs of the body would almost lie... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 19:28-30

The death of Jesus. After he has thus ministered to others, attention is turned to himself. I. THE THIRST OF THE SUFFERER . "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst." 1. The burning fever caused by the inflammation of his wounds made him athirst. The cry attests his extreme suffering. 2. The minute fulfillment of prophecy is present to the Sufferer's mind. "They gave me vinegar to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 19:28-30

See the notes at Matthew 27:46-50.That the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst - See Psalms 69:21. Thirst was one of the most distressing circumstances attending the crucifixion. The wounds were highly inflamed, and a raging fever was caused, usually, by the sufferings on the cross, and this was accompanied by insupportable thirst. See the notes at Matthew 27:35. A Mameluke, or Turkish officer, was crucified, it is said in an Arabic manuscript recently translated, on the banks of the... read more
