Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 19:16 In-Context

14 or era la preparazione della pasqua, ed era intorno all’ora sesta; e disse a’ Giudei: Ecco il vostro Re.

15 Ma essi gridarono: Togli, togli, crocifiggilo. Pilato disse loro: Crocifiggerò io il vostro Re? I principali sacerdoti risposero: Noi non abbiamo altro re che Cesare.

16 Allora adunque egli lo diede lor nelle mani, acciocchè fosse crocifisso. Ed essi presero Gesù, e lo menarono via.

17 ED egli, portando la sua croce, uscì al luogo detto del Teschio, il quale in Ebreo si chiama Golgota.

18 E quivi lo crocifissero, e con lui due altri, l’uno di qua, e l’altro di là, e Gesù in mezzo.
