Context of John 19:6

4And then Pilate came out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you so that you will know that I find no grounds at all for charges in His case.” 5Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold, the Man!” So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him; for I find no grounds for charges in His case!” 7The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by that law He ought to die, because He made Himself out to be the Son of God!” 8Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;

Commentaries on John 19:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Crucify Him - , which is necessary to the text, and which is wanting in the common editions, and is supplied by our version in Italics, is added here on the authority of almost every MS. and version of importance. As it is omitted in the common editions, it affords another proof, that they were not taken from the best MSS.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6They cried out, saying, Crucify him … - The view of the Saviour‘s meekness only exasperated them the more. They had resolved on his death; and as they saw Pilate disposed to acquit him, they redoubled their cries, and endeavored to gain by tumult, and clamor, and terror, what they saw they could not obtain by justice. When men are determined on evil, they cannot be reasoned with. Every argument tends to defeat their plans, and they press on in iniquity…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 6Pilate knew that a riot could happen when a man popular with the masses was executed, so he shifted responsibility to crucify Jesus to the temple leaders.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 6-76-7. When the chief priests ... saw him, they cried out--their fiendish rage kindling afresh at the sight of Him. Crucify him, crucify him--(See Mr 15:14). Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him; for I find no fault in him--as if this would relieve him of the responsibility of the deed, who, by surrendering Him, incurred it all!Read the comment
