This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He delivered (paredōken). Kappa aorist active of paradidōmi, the very verb used of the Sanhedrin when they handed Jesus over to Pilate (Joh 18:30, Joh 18:35). Now Pilate hands Jesus back to the Sanhedrin with full consent for his death (Luk 23:25).
To be crucified (hina staurōthēi). Purpose clause with hina and the first aorist passive subjunctive of stauroō. John does not give the dramatic episode in Mat 27:24. when Pilate washed his hands and the Jews took Christ’s blood on themselves and their children. But it is on Pilate also.
