F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 19:10-17

the Rejection of the King John 19:10-17 Pilate’s pride was touched by that silence. In His reply our Lord refers to the relative responsibility of those who shared in His condemnation. It was as if He said, “Great as your sin is, in forfeiting your position, it is less than the sin of those who have put Me into your power.” Pilate then became aware of the coil of evil in which he was caught. He was dealing with a matter that touched the unseen and eternal, but the threat to report him to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 19:1-42

Here once more we have the story of the Cross, and once again it is a story to be read almost without note or comment. The picture of our Lord led forth and presented to the crowds by Pilate is one of appalling solemnity. Whatever Pilate's intention, the vision of Jesus failed to arouse in the hearts of the multitude any pity for Him, and they clamored for His death. In spite of all Pilate's protests, the clamor continued, and he yielded to it, and handed Jesus over to the mob. Referring to... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 19:16-37

The Calvary Chapter John 19:16-37 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We will suggest the steppingstone which immediately precedes the Calvary experiences of our Lord and then enlarge on the Calvary events. What we say will be found in John 19:1-15 . We take our stand at the hall of Pilate, as Christ appeared before him. 1. The scourging. John 19:1 reads, "Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged Him." We would ask what right did Pilate have to scourge Him, when he, himself, immediately after... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:1-16

The Trial Continues (John 19:1-16 a). John has made clear in chapter 18 that, in facing His trial by His fellow Jews, Jesus had nothing to hide, although no details of their actual attempts to find prosecuting witnesses or of the charge of blasphemy has been given. In the examination before Annas Jesus has simply pointed to the proofs that He was unblemished. That is John’s emphasis, that the Lamb was open to examination before the High Priest and was found to be without blemish. Again before... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:16-18

‘They therefore took Jesus, and he went out bearing the cross for himself, to the place called the Place of the Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha., where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus in the middle.’ Jesus, His back in tatters, His clothes covered in blood, was now made to bear the means of His execution. The heavy timber which would form the crosspiece of His cross was laid across His back. (The upright would be found on site). We learn... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:16-37

The Lamb is Offered Up (John 19:16-37 ). Meanwhile the innocent victim was being dragged through the streets of the city, and then through an outer gate in order to be crucified ‘outside the gate’ (Hebrews 13:12). Rejected by those to whom He had come He was being treated as an excrescence, seen as not even fit to suffer within the city, something emphasised by the fact that He was being crucified. In the words of Deuteronomy 21:23, ‘a hanged man is accursed by God’, and that is how the Jews... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:1-16

John 19:1-Nehemiah : . Pilate gives way to the Jews.— Pilate’ s next attempt is to persuade the Jews to be content with a lighter penalty than crucifixion. The prisoner is not dangerous enough, even to the religious authorities of the nation, to make the extreme penalty necessary. Scourging will meet the case. It was the usual preliminary of the Roman punishment of crucifixion, and in the Synoptic account it is recorded only after the sentence has been pronounced. Cf., however, Luke 23:16;... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 19:16

This must be at or about twelve of the clock, for that must be signified by the sixth hour, John 19:14. Pilate condemned him, and delivered him to the executioner, who (as the manner is in such cases) led him away. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 19:7-18

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 19:9. Whence … Jesus gave no answer.—The answer had already been given (John 18:36-37 : see also John 8:25; John 10:24-25). Besides, what Pilate had to settle now was the justice of the charge for which Jesus was brought before him (Isaiah 53:7).John 19:11. He that delivered He unto thee, etc.—The Jewish high priest claimed to represent a divinely ordered religion and system, and to be directed in his action by divine revelation and guidance. Therefore, as one... read more
