Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 19:8-11.


John 19:11

_ _ Thou couldest — rather, “shouldst.”

_ _ have no power at all against me — neither to crucify nor to release, nor to do anything whatever against Me [Bengel].

_ _ except it were — “unless it had been.”

_ _ given thee from above — that is, “Thou thinkest too much of thy power, Pilate: against Me that power is none, save what is meted out to thee by special divine appointment, for a special end.”

_ _ therefore he that delivered me unto thee — Caiaphas, too wit — but he only as representing the Jewish authorities as a body.

_ _ hath the greater sin — as having better opportunities and more knowledge of such matters.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 19:1-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 19:11

Thou couldst have no power over me — For I have done nothing to expose me to the power of any magistrate. Therefore he that delivered me to thee, namely, Caiaphas, knowing this, is more blamable than thou.
