buffeted by the soldiers.
Joh_19:5-7 Pilate declareth his innocence: the Jews charge him
with assuming the title of the Son of God.

Joh_19:19-22 Pilate’s inscription on his cross.
Joh_19:23,24 The soldiers part his garments.
Joh_19:25-27 He commendeth his mother to John,
Joh_19:28-30 receiveth vinegar to drink, and dieth.
Joh_19:31-37 The legs of the others are broken, and the side of

Joh_19:38-42 Joseph of Arimathea begs his body, and, assisted

It was the custom of the Romans, when any one was to be crucified, first to scourge him; but (as it appears) Pilate ordered it, hoping that, though he could not prevail by any other art with them, yet by this he might; and they might possibly be satisfied with this lighter punishment; for it appeareth by Joh_19:4,12, that Pilate had a mind to release him, if he could have satisfied the Jews; though he had not courage enough to oppose the stream, and to do what himself thought was just, in despite of their opposition.
