JOHN CHAPTER 19 1 Thessalonians 19:1-4 Jesus is scourged, crowned with thorns, mocked, and buffeted by the soldiers. 1 Thessalonians 19:5-7 Pilate declareth his innocence: the Jews charge him with assuming the title of the Son of God. 1 Thessalonians 19:8-16 Pilate upon further examination is more desirous to release him, but, overcome with the clamours of the Jews, delivereth him to be crucified. 1 Thessalonians 19:17,18 He is led to Golgotha, and crucified between two malefactors. 1 Thessalonians 19:19-22 Pilate's inscription on his cross. 1 Thessalonians 19:23,24 The soldiers part his garments. 1 Thessalonians 19:25-27 He commendeth his mother to John, 1 Thessalonians 19:28-30 receiveth vinegar to drink, and dieth. 1 Thessalonians 19:31-37 The legs of the others are broken, and the side of Jesus pierced. 1 Thessalonians 19:38-42 Joseph of Arimathea begs his body, and, assisted by Nicodemus, buries it. It was the custom of the Romans, when any one was to be crucified, first to scourge him; but (as it appears) Pilate ordered it, hoping that, though he could not prevail by any other art with them, yet by this he might; and they might possibly be satisfied with this lighter punishment; for it appeareth by 1 Thessalonians 19:4,12, that Pilate had a mind to release him, if he could have satisfied the Jews; though he had not courage enough to oppose the stream, and to do what himself thought was just, in despite of their opposition.
