Geneva Study Bible - John 19:6

19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, {a} Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify [him]: for I find no fault in him.(a) They will have him crucified whom, by an old custom of theirs, they should have stoned and hanged up as convicted of blasphemy: but they desire to have him crucified after the manner of the Romans. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:1-42

CRIMINALLY ASSAULTED IN THE COURT! (vs.1-12) Pilate then tried another desperate move, having the Lord scourged. This was gross injustice, yet he hoped by this to placate the Jews' enmity, considering that they might be satisfied if only the Lord was humiliated, and therefore not insist on His death. The soldiers added to this the scorn of crowning Him with thorns and clothing Him in purple, in derision of His being a king, then striking Him with their hands (vs.1-3). Thus Pilate orders and... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 19:1-42

AT MAN ’S JUDGMENT SEAT A way to study this lesson is to compare the text with the corresponding places in the synoptics and observe what is original to John. Any “Harmony” of the Gospels would furnish valuable aid. For example, it is John who named “the brook Cedron” or “Kidron,” and identifies the “garden” (John 18:1 ). The others speak of “a place called Gethsemane,” etc., but nothing more. He alone tells us that Judas “knew the place,” and why (John 18:2 ), John 18:4-8 is new, and one... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 19:1-42

Scourging Jesus Joh 19:1 We know this to be historical. We read of this in other books than the New Testament. Some of us, therefore, who are so much afraid of superstition as to look with some wonder if not doubt upon lines that are found in the New Testament, or Old Testament alone, may feel ourselves to be upon solid ground. Jesus loved, taught, was scourged, crowned with thorns, clothed with purple, killed. For this information we are not dependent upon evangelists; for this assurance we... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 19:5-18

Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! (6) When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. (7) The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. (8) When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; (9) And... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 19:1-18

1-18 Little did Pilate think with what holy regard these sufferings of Christ would, in after-ages, be thought upon and spoken of by the best and greatest of men. Our Lord Jesus came forth, willing to be exposed to their scorn. It is good for every one with faith, to behold Christ Jesus in his sufferings. Behold him, and love him; be still looking unto Jesus. Did their hatred sharpen their endeavours against him? and shall not our love for him quicken our endeavours for him and his kingdom?... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 19:1-99

John 19 IN THE FIRST verse of this chapter the word, “therefore” is to be noted. Pilate had pronounced already the verdict of “No fault” as to Jesus, but because the Jews shouted for Barabbas and rejected Him, he took Him and scourged Him. All attempt at a display of ordinary human justice was thrown to the winds, all public decencies were outraged. Taking their cue from the action of the judge, the soldiers followed suit in their own rough way. Yet the hand of God was so over even Pilate... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 19:7-12

Pilate again examines Jesus: v. 7. The Jews answered him, We have a Law, and by our Law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God. v. 8. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid, v. 9. and went again into the judgment-hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art Thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. v. 10. Then saith Pilate unto Him, Speakest Thou not unto me? Knowest Thou not that I have power to crucify Thee, and have power to release Thee? v. 11. Jesus... read more
