St. John 19 reports the crucifixion of Jesus. The chapter describes in detail the scene of the condemnation of Jesus by Pilate, his flagellation and coronation of thorns, the walk to the golgota, the crucifixion and, finally, the death of Jesus. Here are five verses related to the topics addressed in São João 19:
Psalm 22:18: "They shared my garments, and on my tunic they launched sorts." This prophetic verse of Psalm 22 is quoted in John 19:24, where it is mentioned as being fulfilled during the crucifixion of Jesus, when the Roman soldiers cast luck to decide who would have their garments.
Isaiah 53:3: "He was despised, and the most rejected among men, a man of pain, and experienced in work; and, as one of whom men hid their face, was despised, and we did not do it at all." This verse of the book of Isaiah is often associated with Jesus, especially in relation to his crucifixion and suffering. He reflects the idea that Jesus was rejected and belittled by men.
Psalm 69:21: "They gave me a gall for, and at my thirst they gave me to drink vinegar." This verse of Psalm 69 is quoted in John 19:28-29, where he is mentioned as being fulfilled during the crucifixion of Jesus, when he said "I thirst" and the soldiers gave him vinegar to drink.
Isaiah 53:12: "From what I will give you the part of many, and with the mighty it shall divide it spoil; for their soul to death to death, and was told with the transgressors; but he led the sin of many, many, led upon himself, and by transgressors interceded. " This verse of Isaiah is often associated with Jesus, especially in relation to his crucifixion and death. He reflects the idea that Jesus took the sins of men upon Him and interceded for them.
Zechariah 12:10: "And upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, I will pour the Spirit of grace and supplications; and they will look at me, to whom they have pierced it; and they will forest him upon him, as whom for the only begotten Son; and they shall cry bitterly for him, as if bitterly cries for the firstborn. " This prophetic verse of Zechariah is quoted in John 19:37, where he is mentioned as being fulfilled during the crucifixion of Jesus, when he was pierced with a spear.
