This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh_19:32-33. To assume, on account of Mar_15:39 (Comp. Mat_27:54), that these soldiers were others (sent out by Pilate) than those who had crucified Jesus (Storr, Kuinoel, Olshausen, Maier, Lange), is indicated by nothing in the text, where rather οἱ στρατιῶται are those already known. The ἦλθον is only pictorial, and the centurion does not come into consideration with John.
Since they came to Jesus last, we must suppose that two each began on the two sides of the three crosses.
