John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Emmanuel and scourged him.

In an Old Testament prophecy of His scourging, his being beaten up, says of it:.Isaiah 52:14 "As many were astonished at you. His visage was so marred more than any man and his form more than the sons of men."

John 19:2-5 And the soldiers platted.(braided).a crown of thorns and put it on his head and they put on him a purple robe and said, Hail, King of the Judeans! and they smote him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Emmanuel forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold the man!

John 19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, You take him and crucify him for I find no fault in him.

John 19:7 The Jews.(these who named themselves 'Jews' and were actually of the satanist.cabal, were not Judeans) answered him, We have a law and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

Luke 22:66-71.

John 19:10 Then said Pilate unto him, Speak you not unto me? Know you not that I have power to crucify you and have power to release you?

John 19:11 Emmanuel answered, You could have no power at all against me, except it were given you from above. Therefore he.(Satan, who is behind man making him his worst:.John 13:21,26,27).that delivered me unto you has the greater sin.

John 19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

John 19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Emmanuel forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

John 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover and about the sixth hour and he said unto the Jews, Behold your King!

John 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 

John 19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Emmanuel and led him away.

John 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull.(Luke 23:33), which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha,

John 19:18 Where they crucified him and two others with him, on either side one and Emmanuel in the middle.

John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was, EMMANUEL OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JUDEANS.

John 19:20 This title then was read by many of the Jews, for the place where Emmanuel was crucified was nigh to the city and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin.

John 19:21,22 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Judeans, but that he said, I am King of the Judeans. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Emmanuel, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

John 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This fulfilled the scripture, which said, They parted my raiment among them.(they wanted to see if the clothing pieces were even worth participating in the lot to get them).and for my vesture.(all his clothing).they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

This scriptures is from the prophecy recorded 1000 years before its occurrence:.Psalms 22:18.

John 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Emmanuel, his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.

Comprised with.Easton's Bible Dictionary:.In the spelling of the word 'Cleophas' the letter 'h' is inserted by mistake from the Latin manuscripts. Instead it should be 'Cleopas', which is the Greek form of the original word, while Clopas is the Aramaic form. The word 'wife' is conjecturally inserted here. If 'wife' is rightly inserted and makes sense when it is, then this particular Mary was not Mary mother of Emmanuel, but Mary the mother of James the Less and James the Less's father was Cleopas or Alphaeus. Alphaeus is the Hebrew form of the Greek word Cleopas:.Matthew 10:3; 27:56.

John 19:26,27 When Emmanuel therefore saw his mother and the disciple standing by whom he loved.(*), he said unto his mother, Woman, behold your son! Then said he to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

John 19:28 After this, Emmanuel knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.

Clarke's Commentary:."He wished to give them the fullest proof of his being the Messiah, by distinctly marking how every thing relative to the Messiah, which had been written in the prophets, had its complete fulfillment in him."

John 19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar and they filled a spunge with vinegar and put it upon hyssop.(a plant {unidentified} used way back when as a condiment and for religious uses).and put it to his mouth.

John 19:30 When Emmanuel therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished. And he bowed his head and gave up the ghost.(His soul left His body).

In the original the words translated."It is finished".is one word 'Tetelestai', meaning 'done', 'paid for', 'brought to a close', 'finished', often used in place of the word 'Amen', such as here. Why? So, you can now rest in the finished work Christ completed on the cross:.Matthew 11:28; Hebrews 4:3-11. As a result, if you're in Christ, you'll be there forever.(Hebrews 13:5), unless you become as those angels who threw it all away. You always have free choice, as they did.

John 19:31.The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation.(Matthew 27:61,62; the preparation here was for the annual Passover festival), that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, for that sabbath day was an high day.(not just a regular sabbath day, but a special holy day that fell on a sabbath), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

John 19:32 Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the first and of the other which was crucified with him.

John 19:33 But when they came to Emmanuel and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs.

Verse 36 below.

John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side and forthwith came there out blood and water.

John 19:35 And he that saw.(John, who wrote this book of John, saw it, was an eyewitness of it, verses 29-34 above).it bare record and his record is true and he knows what he said is true, that you might believe.

John's conviction from his own eyewitnessing of Emmanuel's death and resurrection was an encouragement to others that it was indeed real:.1John 5:10,11; Acts 4:13.

John 19:36 For these things were done, that the scripture.(Exodus 12:46; Psalms 34:20).should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

John 19:37 And again another scripture.(Zechariah 12:10).says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

John 19:38 And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple.(Matthew 10:1).of Emmanuel, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Emmanuel and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Emmanuel.

John 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Emmanuel by night and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

John 19:40 Then took they the body of Emmanuel and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of those of the Judeans is to bury.

John 19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

John 19:42 There laid they Emmanuel therefore because of the passover's preparation day, for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
