Matthew 27:28-29

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 27:26-30

Jesus condemned, and mocked by the soldiers: v. 26. Then released he Barabbas unto them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. v. 27.

And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they bowed the knee before Him, and... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 27:11-31

NINTH SECTIONJESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS, BEFORE PILATES’S BAR; OR, CHRIST EXAMINED BY THE CIVIL AUTHORITY; INSULTINGLY PUT BESIDE BARABBAS; STILL MORE INSULTING REJECTED, AND, IN SPITE OF THE MOST DECISIVE PROOFS OF HIS INNONENCE, CONDEMNED, DELIVERED TO BE CRUCIFIED, MOCKEDMatthew 27:11-31(Mark 15:2-20; Luke 23:2-25; John 18:28 to John 19:16.)11And Jesus stood [was placed]15 before the governor: and the governor asked [questioned]16 him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 27:22-31

the Stain Water Could not Wash Away Matthew 27:22-31 No judge ought to have asked the crowd what he should do. But every man has to do with Christ. He is ever standing before the bar of conscience, and each of us must accept or condemn, do homage or crucify. If we do not pronounce for Him , we pronounce against Him ; and there is a moment when our verdict becomes irrevocable. “What I have written, I have written.” We are all writing our legend, and affixing it to the Cross for the universe... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 27:1-66

The morning saw the plot hatched in the night carried into effect. This is chronicled in the first two verses of the chapter. The picture of Judas in his remorse is very terrible. Pilate stands out as a warning against the policy of expediency. He was convinced of the innocence of Jesus, and his conscience- perhaps more acute that day than it had been for a very long time- very plainly revealed to him that his duty lay in releasing the Prisoner. However, he endeavored to secure himself and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:27-29

‘And they knelt down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ’ But central to it all was the desire to mock His ‘claim’ to Kingship, and the horseplay no doubt began early and continued right through to the end as different ones thrust themselves forward trying to outdo what the previous ones had done. It is summarised here in the terms ‘they knelt down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ’ They knew after all that that was what lay behind His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:27-31

The Mock Adulation of the Soldiers (27:27-31). Having been sentenced and committed to crucifixion Jesus now became fair game. It was not often that the soldiers had a royal claimant that they could do what they liked with. So they gathered their comrades-at-arms together, tore off his clothes, put on Him a scarlet robe and a crown of thorns, put a reed in His right hand and then mocked Him as ‘a king’. Then when they had had enough of their folly, they took back the robe, dressed Him in His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:27-54

The Final Farewell (27:27-54). In sober words Matthew now portrays what Jesus had to endure from the moment when He was handed over to His executioners to be mocked as ‘the King of the Jews’ to the time when He breathes His last and His executioners testify that He is ‘the Son of God’. Analysis. a The mock adulation of the soldiers as they hail Him as ‘King of the Jews’ (Matthew 27:27-31). b The crucifixion of Jesus where He is numbered with two insurrectionists and displayed as ‘the King... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:28-29

a ‘And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe, and plaited a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand.’ Then began the mockery and they wanted Him dressed for the part. So they took off His own bloodstained robe, and put on Him a scarlet robe which was intended to signify royalty. This may have been a soldier’s red robe, or it may have been an officer’s robe seen as more suitable for the part, or even one that they kept by for such occasions. Then they... read more

Matthew 27:27-Obadiah : . The Soldiers Mock Jesus ( Mark 15:16-Proverbs : *, which Mt. rearranges and slightly expands).— Lk. ( Luke 23:11) makes something of the kind happen at Herod’ s house, but there is some doubt about the text. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 27:27-31

Mark hath the same, Mark 15:17-20, only he saith they put upon him a purple robe. John seemeth to mention this a little out of order, John 19:1-3, as done before his condemnation; for though some think that Matthew and Mark rather mention these things out of their due order, yet the abuses seem more likely to be done to a person who was condemned, and so dead in law, than while he was upon his trial. Writers tell us that none might be crucified before he was scourged, and that not with rods,... read more
