Context of John 19:6

4Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation against him.” 5So Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Look, here is the man!” When the chief priests and their officers saw him, they shouted out, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said, “You take him and crucify him! Certainly I find no reason for an accusation against him!” 7The Jewish leaders replied, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!” 8When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid than ever,

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
