1 Jesus brought bound, and accused before Pilate.
6 Upon the clamour of the common people, the murderer Barabbas is loosed, and Jesus delivered up to be crucified.
16 He is crowned with thorns, spit on, and mocked;
21 faints in bearing his cross;
27 hangs between two thieves;
29 suffers the triumphing reproaches of the Jews;
39 but is confessed by the centurion to be the Son of God;
42 and is honourably buried by Joseph.

straightway. Ps 2:2 Mt 27:1,2 Lu 22:66 Ac 4:5,6,25-28

and delivered. 10:33,34 Mt 20:18,19 Lu 18:32,33 23:1,2 *etc: Joh 18:28 *etc: Ac 3:13

2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

Mt 2:2 27:11 Lu 23:3 Joh 18:33-37 19:19-22 1Ti 6:13

3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

the chief. Mt 27:12 Lu 23:2-5 Joh 18:29-31 19:6,7,12

but. 5 14:60,61 Isa 53:7

4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

Answerest. Mt 26:62 27:13 Joh 19:10

5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

Jesus. Isa 53:7 Joh 19:9

Pilate. Ps 71:7 Isa 8:18 Zec 3:8 Mt 27:14 1Co 4:9

6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

Mt 26:2,5 27:15 Lu 23:16,17 Joh 18:39,40 Ac 24:27 25:9

7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

Mt 27:16 Lu 23:18,19,25

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

Will. Mt 27:17-21 Joh 18:39 19:4,5,14-16 Ac 3:13-15

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

for envy. Ge 4:4-6 37:11 1Sa 18:8,9 Pr 27:4 Ec 4:4 Mt 27:18 Ac 13:45 Tit 3:3 Jas 3:14-16 4:5 1Jo 3:12

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

Ho 5:1 Mt 27:20 Joh 18:40 Ac 3:14

12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

What. Mt 27:22,23 Lu 23:20-24 Joh 19:14-16

whom. 1,2 11:9-11 Pr 2:6,7 Isa 9:6,7 Jer 23:5,6 Zec 9:9 Mt 2:2-4 21:5 Lu 23:2 Ac 5:31

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

Why. Isa 53:9 Mt 27:4,19,24,54 Lu 23:4,14,15,21,41,47 Joh 18:38 Joh 19:6 Heb 7:26 1Pe 1:19

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

the soldiers. Mt 27:27

Praetorium. [Praitorion,] in Latin, praetorium, was properly the tent or house of the praetor, a military, and sometimes a civil officer.

Joh 18:28 19:9

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

Mt 27:28-30 Lu 23:11 Joh 19:2-5

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

Hail. 29-32 Ge 37:10,20 Mt 27:42,43 Lu 23:36,37 Joh 19:14,15

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

they smote. 9:12 10:34 14:65 Job 13:9 30:8-12 Ps 22:6,7 35:15-17 Ps 69:12,19,20 Isa 49:7 50:6 52:14 53:3-5 Mic 5:1 Mt 20:18,19 Lu 18:32,33 22:63 23:11,36 Heb 12:2,3 13:13

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

and led. Mt 27:31 Joh 19:16

21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

Isa 53:12 Lu 22:37 Heb 12:2

29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

they. Ps 22:7,8,12-14 35:15-21 69:7,19,20,26 109:25 La 1:12 2:15 Mt 27:39,40

Ah. 14:58 Ge 37:19,20 Mt 26:61 Joh 2:18-22

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

darkness. Ps 105:28 Isa 50:3,4 Am 8:9,10

he. 9:11-13 Mt 17:11-13 27:47-49

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

23 Ps 69:21 Lu 23:36 Joh 19:28-30

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

Mt 27:50 Lu 23:46 Joh 19:30

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

Ex 26:31-34 40:20,21 Le 16:2 *etc: 2Ch 3:8-14 Mt 27:51-53 Lu 23:45 Heb 4:14-16 6:19 9:3-12 Heb 10:19-23

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

the centurion. The centurion was a military captain, and commander of a century, or 100 men. In order to have a proper notion of his office, it may be desirable to explain the construction and array of the Roman legion. Each legion was divided into ten cohorts, each cohort into three maniples, and each maniple into two centuries; so that there were thirty maniples, and sixty centuries in a legion, which, if the century had always, as the word imports, consisted of 100 soldiers, would have formed a combined phalanx of 6,000 men. The number in a legion, however, varied at different periods; in the time of Polybius it was 4,200. The order of battle was that of three lines; the hastati, or spearmen, occupied the front; the principes, the second line; the triarii, (also called pilani, from their weapon, the pilam,) the third. The centurions were appointed by the tribunes, and generally selected from the common soldiers according to their merit; although the office was sometimes obtained for money, or through the favour of the consuls. Their badge was a vine rod, or sapling.

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

Joh 19:31-37

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

he gave. Mt 27:58 Joh 19:38

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
