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 Era la preparazione della Pasqua, ed era circa l’ora sesta. Ed egli disse ai Giudei: Ecco il vostro Re!

15 Allora essi gridarono: Toglilo, toglilo di mezzo, crocifiggilo! Pilato disse loro: Crocifiggerò io il vostro Re? I capi sacerdoti risposero: Noi non abbiamo altro re che Cesare.

16 Allora lo consegnò loro perché fosse crocifisso.

17 Presero dunque Gesù; ed egli, portando la sua croce, venne al luogo del Teschio, che in ebraico si chiama Golgota,

18 dove lo crocifissero, assieme a due altri, uno di qua, l’altro di là, e Gesù nel mezzo.
