Context of John 19:6
4Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him.” 5Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!” Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.” 7The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.” 8Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the 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.

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
