Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 19:14

Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!The Preparation ... This was the day before the passover which began that night at sunset.The sixth hour ... Since this was an official Roman event, the time was Roman time, making this 6:00 A.M.Behold your King! ... Very well, Pilate seems to have concluded; if the Jews would blackmail him as an enemy of Caesar, he would prove his loyalty by crucifying the Jews' King! In... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 19:15

They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.Pilate here maneuvered the chief priests in a manner that enraged them and drove them to a blind fury. "Shall I crucify your King?" was his mocking taunt; but their blindness to the consequences of what they were doing was so complete that in their irrational rage they even renounced God himself.We have no king but Caesar... read more

Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.Them ... has reference to the chief priests. Yes, Pilate provided the soldiers and a centurion to command the detail; but he put those evil priests squarely in charge of the crucifixion.The decision was then final, and the further deeds of that dark day would unfold on schedule. Pilate had vainly tried to avoid what he knew was an injustice; but there was no way that such a man as he could avoid doing what, in the last analysis, he held... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 19:17

They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha.John omitted many details found in the synoptics. This verse is all that John related of the Via Dolorosa. For an account of the events associated with that title, see my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 27:32.Golgotha ... The place of the skull was near the city but outside the walls, but any certainty as to the exact location is precarious.... read more

John 19:14. And it was the preparation— The governor being frightened into compliance, contrary to his inclination, was angry with the priests for stirring up the people to such a pitch of madness, and resolved to affront them. He therefore brought Jesus out a second time on the pavement, wearing the purple robe and crown of thorns, with his hands manacled; and, pointing to him, said, Behold your king; either in ridicule of the national expectation, or, which is more probable, to soften the... read more

John 19:15. Shall I crucify your king?— According to most commentators, Pilate said this mocking them; but it is more agreeable to his general behaviour in this affair to suppose, that he spoke it with a view to move the populace, who, he knew, had once held Jesus in great esteem as the Messiah: for we are told, in the 12th verse, that he sought to release him. The chief priests replied to him, We have no king but Caesar; in which reply they publicly renounced their hope of the Messiah, which... read more

14. It was the preparation—that is, the day before the Jewish sabbath. and about the sixth hour—The true reading here is probably, "the third hour"—or nine A.M.—which agrees best with the whole series of events, as well as with the other Evangelists. he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!—Having now made up his mind to yield to them, he takes a sort of quiet revenge on them by this irony, which he knew would sting them. This only reawakens their cry to despatch Him. read more
