John 19:16 Meaning and 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 execution, whither he was led as a lamb to the slaughter, without opening his mouth against God or man; but behaved with the utmost patience, meekness, and resignation.

14 it was about noon on Preparation Day for Pesach. He said to the Judeans, "Here's your king!"

15 They shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Put him to death on the stake!" Pilate said to them, "You want me to execute your king on a stake?" The head cohanim answered, "We have no king but the Emperor."

16 Then Pilate handed Yeshua over to them to have him put to death on the stake. So they took charge of Yeshua.

17 Carrying the stake himself he went out to the place called Skull (in Aramaic, Gulgolta).

18 There they nailed him to the stake along with two others, one on either side, with Yeshua in the middle.
