John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:28

And they stripped him ,.... Of his clothes; at least of his upper garment: for one man to spit upon another, as these soldiers afterwards did on Christ, or to strip him of his garment, according to the Jewish canons, were punishable with a fine of four hundred pence F26 Misn. Bava Kama, c. 8. sect. 6. , which amounted to twelve pounds and ten shillings of our money; but the soldiers were in no danger of being prosecuted, for stripping Christ. This is one part of the low estate Christ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:29

And when they had platted a crown of thorns ,.... What sort of thorn this crown was made of, whether of the bramble, or of the white thorn, is not very material F2 Vid. Bartholin. de Spinea Corona, sect. 1. 2. : the word used in the Syriac version, is rendered by interpreters, "white thorns", and which were common in Judea: these, be they what they will, they made into the form of a crown, and they put it upon his head ; both to reproach him as a king, and to torture him as a man:... read more

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:11

Before the governor - My old MS. English Bible translates ηγημων Meyr cheef justyse, Presedent . Art thou the King of the Jews? - The Jews had undoubtedly delivered him to Pilate as one who was rising up against the imperial authority, and assuming the regal office. See on Matthew 27:2 ; (note). read more

Marveled greatly - Silence under calumny manifests the utmost magnanimity. The chief priests did not admire this because it confounded them; but Pilate, who had no interest to serve by it, was deeply affected. This very silence was predicted. Isaiah 53:7 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:15

The governor was wont to release - Whence this custom originated among the Jews is not known, - probably it was introduced by the Romans themselves, or by Pilate, merely to oblige the Jews, by showing them this public token of respect; but if it originated with him, he must have had the authority of Augustus; for the Roman laws never gave such discretionary power to any governor. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:16

A notable prisoner - Barabbas - This person had, a short time before, raised an insurrection in Jerusalem, in which it appears, from Mark 15:7 , some lives were lost. In some MSS., and in the Armenian and Syriac Hieros., this man has the surname of Jesus. Professor Birch has discovered this reading in a Vatican MS., written in 949, and numbered 354, in which is a marginal note which has been attributed to Anastasius, bishop of Antioch, and to Chrysostom, which asserts that in the most... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:18

For envy - Δια φθονον , through malice. Then it was his business, as an upright judge, to have dispersed this mob, and immediately released Jesus. Seeing malice is capable of putting even Christ himself to death, how careful should we be not to let the least spark of it harbor in our breast. Let it be remembered that malice as often originates from envy as it does from anger. read more
