CRUCIFIXION AND DEATH OF THE LORD JESUS. (Joh 19:17-30)
And he bearing his cross--(See on Luk 23:26).
went forth--Compare Heb 13:11-13, "without the camp"; "without the gate." On arriving at the place, "they gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall [wine mingled with myrrh, Mar 15:23], and when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink" (Mat 27:34). This potion was stupefying, and given to criminals just before execution, to deaden the sense of pain.
Fill high the bowl, and spice it well, and pour
The dews oblivious: for the Cross is sharp,
The Cross is sharp, and He
Is tenderer than a lamb.
KEBLE.
But our Lord would die with every faculty clear, and in full sensibility to all His sufferings.
Thou wilt feel all, that Thou may'st pity all;
And rather would'st Thou wrestle with strong pain
Than overcloud Thy soul,
So clear in agony,
Or lose one glimpse of Heaven before the time,
O most entire and perfect Sacrifice,
Renewed in every pulse.
KEBLE. |

Bearing (βαστάζων)
See on Joh 12:6; see on Joh 10:31.
His cross (τὸν σταυρὸν αὑτοῦ)
The best texts read αὑτῷ or ἑαυτῷ, "bearing the cross for Himself." John does not mention the impressment of Simon of Cyrene for this service. Compare Mat 27:32; Mar 15:21; Luk 23:26.
Skull
See on Mat 27:33. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Bearing his cross - Not the whole cross, (for that was too large and heavy,) but the transverse beam of it, to which his hands were afterward fastened. This they used to make the person to be executed carry. Mat 27:31; Mar 15:20; Luk 23:26. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Bearing his cross - He bore it all alone first; when he could no longer carry the whole through weakness, occasioned by the ill usage he had received, Simon, a Cyrenian, helped him to carry it: see the note on Mat 27:32.
Golgotha - See on Mat 27:33 (note). |
34 They gave [1325] him [846] vinegar [3690] to drink [4095] mingled [3396] with [3326] gall [5521]: and [2532] when he had tasted [1089] thereof, he would [2309] not [3756] drink [4095].
23 And [2532] they gave [1325] him [846] to drink [4095] wine [3631] mingled with myrrh [4669]: but [1161] he received [2983] it not [3756].
11 For [1063] the bodies [4983] of those [5130] beasts [2226], whose [3739] blood [129] is brought [1533] into [1519] the sanctuary [39] by [1223] the high priest [749] for [4012] sin [266], are burned [2618] without [1854] the camp [3925].
12 Wherefore [1352] Jesus [2424] also [2532], that [2443] he might sanctify [37] the people [2992] with [1223] his own [2398] blood [129], suffered [3958] without [1854] the gate [4439].
13 Let us go forth [1831] therefore [5106] unto [4314] him [846] without [1854] the camp [3925], bearing [5342] his [846] reproach [3680].
26 And [2532] as [5613] they led [520] him [846] away [520], they laid hold upon [1949] one [5100] Simon [4613], a Cyrenian [2956], coming [2064] out of [575] the country [68], and on [2007] him [846] they laid [2007] the cross [4716], that he might bear [5342] it after [3693] Jesus [2424].
17 And [2532] he bearing [941] his [846] cross [4716] went forth [1831] into [1519] a place [5117] called [3004] the place of a skull [2898], which [3739] is called [3004] in the Hebrew [1447] Golgotha [1115]:
18 Where [3699] they crucified [4717] him [846], and [2532] two [1417] other [243] with [3326] him [846], on either side one [2532] [1782] [1782], and [1161] Jesus [2424] in the midst [3319].
19 And [1161] [2532] Pilate [4091] wrote [1125] a title [5102], and [2532] put [5087] it on [1909] the cross [4716]. And [1161] the writing [1125] was [2258], JESUS [2424] OF NAZARETH [3480] THE KING [935] OF THE JEWS [2453].
20 This [5126] title [5102] then [3767] read [314] many [4183] of the Jews [2453]: for [3754] the place [5117] where [3699] Jesus [2424] was crucified [4717] was [2258] nigh [1451] to the city [4172]: and [2532] it was [2258] written [1125] in Hebrew [1447], and Greek [1676], and Latin [4515].
21 Then [3767] said [3004] the chief priests [749] of the Jews [2453] to Pilate [4091], Write [1125] not [3361], The King [935] of the Jews [2453]; but [235] that [3754] he [1565] said [2036], I am [1510] King [935] of the Jews [2453].
22 Pilate [4091] answered [611], What [3739] I have written [1125] I have written [1125].
23 Then [3767] the soldiers [4757], when [3753] they had crucified [4717] Jesus [2424], took [2983] his [846] garments [2440], and [2532] made [4160] four [5064] parts [3313], to every [1538] soldier [4757] a part [3313]; and also [2532] his coat [5509]: now [1161] the coat [5509] was [2258] without seam [729], woven [5307] from [1537] the top [509] throughout [1223] [3650].
24 They said [2036] therefore [3767] among [4314] themselves [240], Let us [4977] not [3361] rend [4977] it [846], but [235] cast lots [2975] for [4012] it [846], whose [5101] it shall be [2071]: that [2443] the scripture [1124] might be fulfilled [4137], which [3588] saith [3004], They parted [1266] my [3450] raiment [2440] among them [1438], and [2532] for [1909] my [3450] vesture [2441] they did cast [906] lots [2819]. These things [5023] [3303] therefore [3767] the soldiers [4757] did [4160].
25 Now [1161] there stood [2476] by [3844] the cross [4716] of Jesus [2424] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] his [846] mother's [3384] sister [79], Mary [3137] the wife [3588] of Cleophas [2832], and [2532] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094].
26 When Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] saw [1492] his mother [3384], and [2532] the disciple [3101] standing by [3936], whom [3739] he loved [25], he saith [3004] unto his [846] mother [3384], Woman [1135], behold [2400] thy [4675] son [5207]!
27 Then [1534] saith he [3004] to the disciple [3101], Behold [2400] thy [4675] mother [3384]! And [2532] from [575] that [1565] hour [5610] that disciple [3101] took [2983] her [846] unto [1519] his own [2398] home.
28 After [3326] this [5124], Jesus [2424] knowing [1492] that [3754] all things [3956] were [5055] now [2235] accomplished [5055], that [2443] the scripture [1124] might be fulfilled [5048], saith [3004], I thirst [1372].
29 Now [3767] there was set [2749] a vessel [4632] full [3324] of vinegar [3690]: and [1161] they filled [4130] a spunge [4699] with vinegar [3690], and [2532] put it upon [4060] hyssop [5301], and put [4374] it to his [846] mouth [4750].
30 When [3753] Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] had received [2983] the vinegar [3690], he said [2036], It is finished [5055]: and [2532] he bowed [2827] his head [2776], and gave up [3860] the ghost [4151].
33 And [2532] when they were come [2064] unto [1519] a place [5117] called [3004] Golgotha [1115], that [3739] is [2076] to say [3004], a place [5117] of a skull [2898],
26 And [2532] as [5613] they led [520] him [846] away [520], they laid hold upon [1949] one [5100] Simon [4613], a Cyrenian [2956], coming [2064] out of [575] the country [68], and on [2007] him [846] they laid [2007] the cross [4716], that he might bear [5342] it after [3693] Jesus [2424].
21 And [2532] they compel [29] one [5100] Simon [4613] a Cyrenian [2956], who passed by [3855], coming [2064] out of [575] the country [68], the father [3962] of Alexander [223] and [2532] Rufus [4504], to [2443] bear [142] his [846] cross [4716].
32 And [1161] as they came out [1831], they found [2147] a man [444] of Cyrene [2956], Simon [4613] by name [3686]: him [5126] they compelled [29] to [2443] bear [142] his [846] cross [4716].
31 Then [3767] the Jews [2453] took up [941] stones [3037] again [3825] to [2443] stone [3034] him [846].
6 [1161] This [5124] he said [2036], not [3756] that [3754] he [846] cared [3199] for [4012] the poor [4434]; but [235] because [3754] he was [2258] a thief [2812], and [2532] had [2192] the bag [1101], and [2532] bare [941] what was put therein [906].
26 And [2532] as [5613] they led [520] him [846] away [520], they laid hold upon [1949] one [5100] Simon [4613], a Cyrenian [2956], coming [2064] out of [575] the country [68], and on [2007] him [846] they laid [2007] the cross [4716], that he might bear [5342] it after [3693] Jesus [2424].
20 And [2532] when [3753] they had mocked [1702] him [846], they took off [1562] the purple [4209] from him [846], and [2532] put [1746] his own [2398] clothes [2440] on [1746] him [846], and [2532] led [1806] him [846] out [1806] to [2443] crucify [4717] him [846].
31 And [2532] after [3753] that they had mocked [1702] him [846], they took [1562] the robe [5511] off [1562] from him [846], and [2532] put [1746] his own [846] raiment [2440] on [1746] him [846], and [2532] led [520] him [846] away [520] to [1519] crucify [4717] him.
33 And [2532] when they were come [2064] unto [1519] a place [5117] called [3004] Golgotha [1115], that [3739] is [2076] to say [3004], a place [5117] of a skull [2898],
32 And [1161] as they came out [1831], they found [2147] a man [444] of Cyrene [2956], Simon [4613] by name [3686]: him [5126] they compelled [29] to [2443] bear [142] his [846] cross [4716].
