This chapter continues the narrative of the trials and the ultimate triumph of the Jewish leaders over the stubborn will of Pilate, who under the duress of political blackmail and mob violence at last gave in to their will. It details the actual crucifixion, the affairs regarding the inscription, the disposition of the Lord's clothes, his provision for his mother, some of the last words, and the burial.Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. (John 19:1)This was actually an effort by... read more
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment.This conduct on the part of the Roman military, brutalized from experience on many a bloody field, nevertheless seems atypical, even in such men as themselves. It seems out of character that they could have been sufficiently motivated to perform the repulsive actions of this mockery. The crooked hand of Satan appears in these events, as in the equally repugnant mockery in the very palace of... read more
And they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.For an entire article on the mockery, see my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 27:28.There is a spiritual mockery of Jesus more damnable even than this which appears in the text. We dare not judge our fellow mortals; but, time and again, we have discovered upon our own lips words of loyalty and devotion not fully consonant with our deeds. read more
And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.John kept the principal actors of this dark drama perpetually on stage. The very fact of Pilate's again confronting the Jewish leaders exhibits his determination to release Jesus, his view apparently having been that his brutal punishment of Jesus, if it could satisfy the leaders, was far better than crucifying him; but he reckoned without consideration of the satanic... read more
John 19:2. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,— See the note on Matthew 27:29. To what has been said there concerning the crown of thorns, the following observations may be added. The form of the sentence for execution passed upon criminals, as recited by Cicero, was this: I, lictor, colliga manus, caput obnubito, arbori infelici suspendito: "Go, lictor, bind his hands, cover or veil his head, suspend him on the unhappy tree:" where the words colliga manus may signify no more than tie... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 19:1-16
156. Jesus before the people (Matthew 27:15-31; Mark 15:6-20; Luke 23:13-25; John 18:39-19:16)Although assured that Jesus was innocent, Pilate felt it wise to give the Jews some satisfaction; for by this time a crowd had gathered and he did not want a riot to break out. He therefore offered to punish Jesus by flogging, and consider the matter finished (Luke 23:13-16).But the people yelled for Jesus to be crucified. Pilate did not want the situation to get out of control, so made another offer.... read more
