John 19:16

19:16 Then Pilate ¹  handed him over ²  to them to be crucified.

The Crucifixion

So they took Jesus,

John 19:18

19:18 There they ³  crucified ⁴  him along with two others, ⁵  one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

[19:16]  ¹ tn Grk “Then he”; the referent (Pilate) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:16]  ² tn Or “delivered him over.”

[19:18]  ³ tn Grk “where they.” This is a continuation of the previous verse in Greek, but contemporary English style tends toward shorter sentences. A literal translation would result in a lengthy and awkward English sentence.

[19:18]  ⁴ sn See the note on Crucify in 19:6.

[19:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “and with him two others.”
