Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

John 19 - Introduction

The Trial Continues, the Crucifixion, the Burial (John 19).

Jesus Is The Messiah, The King Of The Jews.

The emphasis that Jesus is ‘the King of the Jews', and thus the Messiah, which is what John was seeking to underline (John 20:31) carries on through chapter 19. Here He is hailed as such, somewhat crudely, by the soldiers (John 19:3), is indirectly acknowledged as such by His accusers (John 19:12), is declared as such by Pilate (John 19:14), and is described as such in the superscription on His cross (John 19:19). And along with this is an acknowledgement of His claim to be the Son of God (John 19:7). His association with the Lamb of God is brought out in that not a bone of Him was to be broken (John 19:32; John 19:36)
