19:2 - And {καὶ <kai>} the {οἱ <ho>} soldiers {στρατιῶται <stratiōtēs>} twisted {πλέξαντες <plekō>} together ← a → crown {στέφανον <stephanos>} of {ἐξ <ek>} thorns {ἀκανθῶν <akantha>} and • put → it • on {ἐπέθηκαν <epitithēmi>} his {αὐτοῦ <autos>} head {τῇ κεφαλῇ <ho kephalē>} and {καὶ <kai>} arrayed {περιέβαλον <periballō>} him {αὐτὸν <autos>} in • purple {πορφυροῦν <porphyrous>} robe. {ἱμάτιον <himation>}

19:5 - So {οὖν <oun>} Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς <ho Iēsous>} came {Ἐξῆλθεν <exerchomai>} out, {ἔξω <exō>} wearing {φορῶν <phoreō>} the {τὸν <ho>} crown {στέφανον <stephanos>} of → thorns {ἀκάνθινον <akanthinos>} and {καὶ <kai>} the {τὸ <ho>} purple {πορφυροῦν <porphyrous>} robe. {ἱμάτιον. <himation>} Pilate • • {καὶ <kai>} said {λέγει <legō>} to → them, {αὐτοῖς· <autos>} “Behold {ἰδοὺ <idou>} the {ὁ <ho>} man!” {ἄνθρωπος. <anthrōpos>}

19:6 - When {ὅτε <hote>} • {οὖν <oun>} the {οἱ <ho>} chief priests {ἀρχιερεῖς <archiereus>} and {καὶ <kai>} the {οἱ <ho>} officers {ὑπηρέται, <hypēretēs>} saw {εἶδον <horaō>} him, {αὐτὸν <autos>} they → cried {ἐκραύγασαν <krauga{zō>} out, ← “ {λέγοντες· <legō>} Crucify {σταύρωσον <stauroō>} him, • crucify {σταύρωσον. <stauroō>} him!” • Pilate {ὁ Πειλᾶτος· <ho Pilatos>} said {Λέγει <legō>} to → them, {αὐτοῖς <autos>} “Take {λάβετε <lambanō>} him {αὐτὸν <autos>} yourselves {ὑμεῖς <sy>} and {καὶ <kai>} crucify {σταυρώσατε· <stauroō>} him, • for {γὰρ <gar>} I {ἐγὼ <egō>} find {εὑρίσκω <heuriskō>} no {οὐχ <ou>} guilt {αἰτίαν. <aitia>} in {ἐν <en>} him.” {αὐτῷ <autos>}

19:7 - The {οἱ <ho>} Jews {Ἰουδαῖοι· <Ioudaios>} answered {Ἀπεκρίθησαν <apokrinomai>} him, {αὐτῷ <autos>} “We {ἡμεῖς <egō>} have {ἔχομεν, <echō>} a → law, {νόμον <nomos>} and {καὶ <kai>} according to {κατὰ <kata>} that • law {τὸν νόμον <ho nomos>} he → ought {ὀφείλει <opheilō>} to → die {ἀποθανεῖν, <apothnēskō>} because {ὅτι <hoti>} he → has → made {ἐποίησεν. <poieō>} himself {ἑαυτὸν <heautou>} the → Son {υἱὸν <huios>} of → God.” {θεοῦ <theos>}

19:8 - When {Ὅτε <hote>} • {οὖν <oun>} Pilate {ὁ Πειλᾶτος <ho Pilatos>} heard {ἤκουσεν <akouō>} this {τοῦτον <houtos>} statement, {τὸν λόγον <ho logos>} he → was → even more {μᾶλλον <mallon>} afraid. {ἐφοβήθη <phobeomai>}

19:9 • {καὶ <kai>} He → entered {εἰσῆλθεν <eiserchomai>} • {εἰς <eis>} his • headquarters {τὸ πραιτώριον <ho praitōrion>} again {πάλιν <palin>} and {καὶ <kai>} said {λέγει <legō>} to → Jesus, {τῷ Ἰησοῦ· <ho Iēsous>} “Where → are {εἶ <eimi>} you {σύ; <sy>} from?” {πόθεν <pothen>} But {δὲ <de>} Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς <ho Iēsous>} gave {ἔδωκεν <didōmi>} him {αὐτῷ. <autos>} no {οὐκ <ou>} answer. {ἀπόκρισιν <apokrisis>}

19:10 - So {οὖν <oun>} Pilate {ὁ Πειλᾶτος· <ho Pilatos>} said {λέγ ει <legō>} to → him, {αὐτῷ <autos>} “You → will → not {οὐ <ou>} speak {λαλεῖς; <laleō>} to → me? {ἐμοὶ <egō>} Do → you → not {οὐκ <ou>} know {οἶδας <oida>} that {ὅτι <hoti>} → have {ἔχω <echō>} authority {ἐξουσίαν <exousia>} to → release {ἀπολῦσαί <apolyō>} you {σε <sy>} and {καὶ <kai>} authority {ἐξουσίαν <exousia>} • {ἔχω <echō>} to → crucify {σταυρῶσαί <stauroō>} you?” {σε; <sy>}

19:11 - Jesus {Ἰησοῦς· <Iēsous>} answered {ἀπεκρίθη <apokrinomai>} him, {αὐτῷ <autos>} “You → would → have {εἶχες <echō>} no → authority {ἐξουσίαν <exousia>} over {κατ᾽ <kata>} me {ἐμοῦ <egō>} at all {οὐκ οὐδεμίαν, <ou oudeis>} unless {εἰ μὴ <ei mē>} it → had → been {ἦν <eimi>} given {δεδομένον <didōmi>} you {σοι <sy>} from above. {ἄνωθεν· <anōthen>} Therefore {διὰ τοῦτο <dia houtos>} he who {ὁ <ho>} delivered → me {μέ <egō>} over {παραδούς <paradidōmi>} to → you {σοι <sy>} has {ἔχει. <echō>} the → greater {μείζονα <meizōn>} sin.” {ἁμαρτίαν <hamartia>}

19:12 - From then on {ἐκ τούτου <ek houtos>} Pilate {ὁ Πειλᾶτος <ho Pilatos>} sought {ἐζήτει <zēteō>} to → release {ἀπολῦσαι <apolyō>} him, {αὐτόν. <autos>} but {δὲ <de>} the {Οἱ <ho>} Jews {Ἰουδαῖοι <Ioudaios>} cried {ἐκραύγασαν <kraugazō>} out, ← “ {λέγοντες· <legō>} If {ἐὰν <ean>} you → release {ἀπολύσῃς, <apolyō>} this {τοῦτον <houtos>} man, ← you → are {εἶ <eimi>} not {οὐκ <ou>} Caesar’s {τοῦ Καίσαρος. <ho Kaisar>} friend. {φίλος <philos>} Everyone {πᾶς <pas>} who {ὁ <ho>} makes {ποιῶν <poieō>} himself {ἑαυτὸν <heautou>} a → king {βασιλέα <basileus>} opposes {ἀντιλέγει <antilegō>} Caesar.” {τῷ Καίσαρι. <ho Kaisar>}

19:13 - So {οὖν <oun>} when → Pilate {Ὁ Πειλᾶτος <ho Pilatos>} heard {ἀκούσας <akouō>} these {τούτων <houtos>} words, {τῶν λόγων <ho logos>} he → brought {ἤγαγεν <agō>} Jesus {τὸν Ἰησοῦν <ho Iēsous>} out {ἔξω <exō>} and {καὶ <kai>} sat {ἐκάθισεν <kathizō>} down ← on {ἐπὶ <epi>} the judgment seat {βήματος <bēma>} at {εἰς <eis>} a → place {τόπον <topos>} called {λεγόμενον <legō>} The Stone Pavement, {Λιθόστρωτον, <lithostrōtos>} and {δὲ <de>} in → Aramaic {Ἑβραϊστὶ <Hebraisti>} Gabbatha. {Γαββαθά. <Gabbatha>}

19:14 - Now {δὲ <de>} it → was {ἦν <eimi>} the → day → of → Preparation {παρασκευὴ <paraskeuē>} of → the {τοῦ <ho>} Passover. {πάσχα, <pascha>} It → was {ἦν <eimi>} about {ὡς <hōs>} the → sixth {ἕκτη. <hektos>} hour. {ὥρα <hōra>} • {καὶ <kai>} He → said {λέγει <legō>} to → the {τοῖς <ho>} Jews, {Ἰουδαίοις· <Ioudaios>} “Behold {ἴδε <ide>} your {ὑμῶν. <sy>} King!” {ὁ βασιλεὺς <ho basileus>}

19:16 - • {Τότε <tote>} So {οὖν <oun>} he delivered {παρέδωκεν <paradidōmi>} him {αὐτὸν <autos>} over ← to → them {αὐτοῖς <autos>} to {ἵνα <hina>} be → crucified. {σταυρωθῇ. <stauroō>} So {οὖν <oun>} they → took {παρέλαβον <paralambanō>} Jesus, {τὸν Ἰησοῦν· <ho Iēsous>}

John 19:1–16

John’s account of the crucifixion is filled with gospel paradox and glorious providence. On the surface, Jesus seems to be completely subject to the whims of an approval-seeking Pilate and a frenzied mob of Jews. But when Pilate labeled Jesus “King of the Jews,” he was saying more than he knew.

Jesus was never more sovereign than when he submitted to death on the cross. This is why the refrain “to fulfill the Scripture” runs through the entire crucifixion story (vv. 24, 28, 36). Nothing was left to chance. No enemies—even as they acted according to their own volition—did anything that was unanticipated or outside the purpose of God’s sovereign providence and redemptive plan (Isa. 53:10; Rev. 13:7–8). This was the climax of all of human history. Jesus is not only the main character in this doxological drama of redemptive history; he is its writer, director, and producer.
