John 19:14-16 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 19:1-15

Here is a further account of the unfair trial which they gave to our Lord Jesus. The prosecutors carrying it on with great confusion among the people, and the judge with great confusion in his own breast, between both the narrative is such as is not easily reduced to method; we must therefore take the parts of it as they lie. I. The judge abuses the prisoner, though he declares him innocent, and hopes therewith to pacify the prosecutors; wherein his intention, if indeed it was good, will by no... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 19:16-18

We have here sentence of death passed upon our Lord Jesus, and execution done soon after. A mighty struggle Pilate had had within him between his convictions and his corruptions; but at length his convictions yielded, and his corruptions prevailed, the fear of man having a greater power over him than the fear of God. I. Pilate gave judgment against Christ, and signed the warrant for his execution, John 19:16. We may see here, 1. How Pilate sinned against his conscience: he had again and again... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 19:14

And it was the preparation of the passover ,.... So the Jews F24 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 43. 1. & 67. 1. say, that Jesus suffered on the eve of the passover; and the author of the blasphemous account of his life says F25 Toldos Jesu, p. 18. , it was the eve both of the passover and the sabbath; which account so far agrees with the evangelic history; but then this preparation of the passover was not of the passover lamb, for that had been prepared and eaten the night before.... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 19:15

But they cried out, Away with him ,.... As a person hateful and loathsome to them, the sight of whom they could not bear; and this they said with great indignation and wrath, and with great vehemency, earnestness and importunacy, in a very clamorous way; repeating the words away with him : they were impatient until he was ordered away for execution; and nothing would satisfy them but the crucifixion of him; and therefore they say, crucify him ; which is also repeated in the Syriac... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 19:16

Then delivered he him therefore ,.... Perceiving he could not by any means work upon them, and that nothing would satisfy them but his death; he therefore passed sentence on him, and gave him up to their will, unto them to be crucified ; as they requested, and which was done in a judicial way, and all by divine appointment, according to the counsel and foreknowledge of God: and they took Jesus and led him away ; directly from the judgment hall, out of the city to the place of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:14

It was the preparation of the Passover - That is, the time in which they were just preparing to kill the paschal lamb. Critics differ widely concerning the time of our Lord's crucifixion; and this verse is variously understood. Some think it signifies merely the preparation of the Sabbath; and that it is called the preparation of the passover, because the preparation of the Sabbath happened that year on the eve of the Passover. Others think that the preparation of the Sabbath is distinctly... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:15

Away with him - Αρον : probably this means, kill him. In Isaiah 57:1 , it is said, και ανδρες, δικαιοι αιρονται , and just men are taken away; that is, according to some, by a violent death. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:16

Then delivered he him - This was not till after he had washed his hands, Matthew 27:24 , to show, by that symbolical action, that he was innocent of the death of Christ. John omits this circumstance, together with the insults which Christ received from the soldiers. See Matthew 27:26 , etc.; Mark 15:16 , etc. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:14

Verse 14 14.About the sixth hour. The Evangelists appear to differ, and even to contradict each other, in the computation of time. The other three Evangelists say that the darkness came on about the sixth hour, while Christ was hanging on the cross, (Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44.) Mark, too says expressly that it was the third hour when the sentence was pronounced on him, (Mark 15:25.) But this may be easily explained. It is plain enough from other passages that the day was at that... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:15

Verse 15 15.We have no king but Caesar. This is a display of shocking madness, that the priests, who ought to have been well acquainted with the Law, reject Christ, in whom the salvation of the people was wholly contained, on whom all the promises depended, and on whom the whole of their religion was founded; and, indeed, by rejecting Christ, they deprive themselves of the grace of God and of every blessing. We see, then, what insanity had seized them. Let us suppose that Jesus Christ was not... read more
