Commentary on John 18:32

Theological / Devotional

Signifying what death. Jesus had predicted death by crucifixion (see on ch. 12:32). If Jesus had died by the hands of the Jews, He would doubtless have died by stoning. At least on two occasions the Jews attempted to stone Him for blasphemy (chs. 8:59; 10:31-33). The Mishnah cites stoning as the penalty for blasphemy (Sanhedrin 7.4, Soncino ed. of the Talmud, p. 359). For ancient methods of stoning see on ch. 8:7.
