22:66 Mt 27:1,2,11 *etc: Mr 15:1 *etc: Joh 18:28 *etc:

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

they. Zec 11:8 Mr 15:3-5 Joh 18:30

that. 22:69,70 Mr 14:61,62 Joh 18:36 19:12

3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

Pilate. Mt 27:11 Mr 15:2 Joh 18:33-37 1Ti 6:13

the King. 38 1:32,33 19:38-40 Mr 15:18,32 Joh 1:49 19:3,19-21

he answered. 1Ti 6:13

Thou sayest it. This was the most solemn mode of affirmation used by the Jews. When the inhabitants of Zippor, inquired whether Rabbi Judah were dead, the son of Kaphra answered, [atun amritun,] Ye say.

4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

I find. 14,15 Mt 27:19,24 Mr 15:14 Joh 18:38 19:4-6 Heb 7:26 1Pe 1:19 1Pe 2:22 3:18

5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

they. 23 11:53 Ps 22:12,13,16 57:4 69:4 Mt 27:24 Joh 19:15 Ac 5:33 7:54 Ac 7:57 23:10

beginning. 4:14,15 Mt 4:12-16,23 Mr 1:14 Joh 1:43 2:11 7:41,52 Ac 10:37

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

a Galilean. 13:1 Ac 5:37

7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

Herod's. 3:1 13:31

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

for. 9:7-9 Mt 14:1 Mr 6:14

and he. 4:23 2Ki 5:3-6,11 Ac 8:19

9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

but. 13:32 Ps 38:13,14 39:1,2,9 Isa 53:7 Mt 7:6 27:14 Ac 8:32 1Pe 2:23

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

and vehemently. 2,5,14,15 11:53 Ac 24:5

11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

Herod. Ac 4:27,28

12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

Ps 83:4-6 Ac 4:27 Mt 16:1 Re 17:13,14

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

Mt 27:21-23 Mr 15:14 Joh 18:38 19:4

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

as one. 1,2,5

have found. 4 Da 6:4 Mt 27:4,19,24,54 Ac 13:28 Heb 7:26

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

nothing. Rather, 'nothing worthy of death is committed my him;' [prasso autou] being put for [hupo autou,] or [prasso autos,] 'he hath done nothing.'

15

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

Isa 53:5 Mt 27:26 Mr 15:15 Joh 19:1-4 Ac 5:40,41

17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

Mt 27:15 Mr 15:6 Joh 18:39

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

they. Mt 27:16-23 Mr 15:7-14 Joh 18:40 Ac 3:14

Away. Joh 19:15 Ac 21:36 22:22

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

2,5 Ac 3:14

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

Mt 14:8,9 27:19 Mr 15:15 Joh 19:12

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

23 Mt 27:22-25 Mr 15:13 Joh 19:15

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

Why. 14,20 1Pe 1:19 3:18

I will. 16

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

5 Ps 22:12,13 57:4 Zec 11:8

24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

Pilate. Mt 27:26 Mr 15:15 Joh 19:1

gave sentence. or, assented. Ex 23:2 Pr 17:15

it. Ex 23:2

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

whom. 1Sa 12:13 Mr 15:6 Ac 3:14

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

and of. 55 8:2 Mt 27:55 Mr 15:40

28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

daughters. So 1:5 2:7 3:5,10 5:8,16 8:4

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

the days. Our Lord here refers to the destruction of Jerusalem, and the final desolation of the Jewish state; an evil associated with so many miseries, that sterility, which had otherwise been considered an opprobrium, was accounted a circumstance most felicitous. No history can furnish us with a parallel to the calamities and miseries of the Jews; rapine and murder, famine and pestilence, within; fire and sword, and all the terrors of war, without. Our Saviour himself wept at the foresight of these calamities; and it is almost impossible for persons of any humanity to read the relation of them in Josephus without weeping also. He might justly affirm, 'if the misfortunes of all, from the beginning of the world, were compared with those of the Jews, they would appear much inferior in the comparison.'

Blessed. De 28:53-57 Ho 9:12-16 13:16

32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

22:37 Isa 53:12 Mt 27:38 Mr 15:27,28 Joh 19:18 Heb 12:2

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
