The judge is now in
act of turning Jesus over to his enemies to be crucified, notwithstanding his innocence.
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. (John 19:15 Christ's Trial and They Demand Christ's Condemnation).
Pilate could try men like Barabbas and keep
order; but
fate which brought this mysterious prisoner to his attention and judgment, offered nor suggested no solution to
problem which he should solve. Pilate brought under weakness and delivered Jesus Christ over to be crucifixed.
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they went forth into a place called
place of a skull, which is called in
Hebrew Golgotha: (John 19:16 Christ's Trial and Christ Condemned).
When you review Matthew 27:32 and Mark 15:21 it has on record Christ's Crucifixion and Christ Bearing HIS Cross.
When you review Luke 23:36 it has on record Christ's Crucifixion, The Conduct of
People and How They Give HIM Vinegar, Wine Mingled with Myrrh.
Jesus friends despaired at this time, lingering, however, in silence around
cross, not knowing what do or what next to expect, in this group his mother, Mary, and other friends were numbered.
Now there stood by
cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary
wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. (John 19:25 Christ's Reception By Men and The Ministry of Women).
John was Jesus close friend and beloved disciple and a few of
women remained with
disciple. Jesus showed
deepest concern for his mother and suggest John look after her like she was his own.
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and
disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to
disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. (John 19:26,27 Christ's Crucifixion, Christ's Words to Women who wept for HIM).
Prophecy coming to pass. The suffering Messiah has fulfilled this mission. Jesus sense of thirst was a sign that his spirit was at rest. The flesh suffered while
spirit triumphed.
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that
scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. (John 19:28,29 Christ's Crucifixion, They Give Him Vinegar and Wine Mingled with Myrrh).
Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished with
words, "It is finished." Christ now bows his head and gives up
ghost;
purpose of God in
history of man is accomplished. God has revealed himself as love.
When Jesus therefore had received
vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up
ghost. (John 19:30, Matthew 27:50, Mark 15:37, Luke 23:46 Christ's Death).
