Context of John 19:18
16Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified. 17They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 19And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18Two other - Matthew and Mark in the parallel places calls them robbers or murderers; they probably belonged to the gang of Barabbas. See about the figure of the cross, and the nature of crucifixion, on Matthew 27:35; (note).Read the comment

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 18None of the writers of the Gospels focus on the details of being nailed to the cross because people already knew it was horrible.
