Chapter 19.
- "It was strange, seeing he was dead, that blood should come out; more strange, that water also; and most strange of all, that both should come out immediately, at one time, and yet distinctly. It was pure and true water, as well as pure and true blood. The asseveration of the beholder and testifier of it, shows both the truth and greatness of the miracle and mystery."

Luke 23:33-46; John 19:25-30, Charles H. Spurgeon, 1869.
- "How often, when men say, "I forgive you," is there a kind of selfishness about it! At any rate, self is asserted in the very act of forgiving. Jesus take the place of a pleader, a pleader for those who were committing murder upon himself."
- From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
Chapter
19.
- "What is finished? The Law is fulfilled as never before, nor since, in His "obedience unto death, even the death of the cross"; Messianic prophecy is accomplished; Redemption is completed; "He hath finished the transgression, and made reconciliation for iniquity, and brought in everlasting righteousness, and sealed up the vision and prophecy, and anointed a holy of holies"; He has inaugurated the kingdom of God and given birth to a new world."

Shortest of the Seven Cries," John 19:28, Charles H. Spurgeon, 1878.
- "Our Lord, however, endured thirst to an extreme degree, for it was the thirst of death which was upon him, and more, it was the thirst of one whose death was not a common one, for "he tasted death for every man.""
- From The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891. Chapter 19
- "It would be hard for Pilate to form any conception of a kingdom not of this world, a kingdom of which the subjects did not fight with carnal weapons to defend its king, or to extend its borders. He was a soldier and the representative of a monarch whose power rested on the sword. But such a kingdom was Christ's."

- "On this Good Friday, on this Earth Day, we must ask ourselves, and with some urgency, “as the body of Christ, which side are we on?” Will we continue blithely to reconcile the values of our consumerist culture with our original vocation as faithful stewards of creation? In so doing, I say, Christ is mocked and crucified again."

- "Love is revealed even in the face of suffering (which despite the confidence is real as 12:27 and 18:11 show). The effect is to reveal love and expose hate and so offer a new beginning."

John 19:38-42 (Holy Saturday)
- "To outsiders, a battered and broken Jesus could no longer hold his head up and died in humiliation and defeat. But to those who believe into him, a true Son of God has completed his great work, and with a royal nod (and maybe a mischievous wink?) has passed on his Spirit so that we too might have life - the life that was in Jesus."

- "One of the many things this story tells us is that Jesus was not brought down by atheism and anarchy. He was brought down by law and order allied with religion, which is always a deadly mix."

"God
Undertook Death (John 19),"
John C. Purdy. Chapter 11 of God With a Human Face (1993),
republished at Religion
Online.
- "...death is the experience that each of us must go through alone. Jesus? crucifixion on Golgotha is utterly unlike anyone else?s death. Each person?s death is unique; no two people die the same way. And each of us is never so alone as when we go to meet our death...And yet all die; no one is exempt. Even Jesus died - he who had every reason to live. If Jesus died, how can you and I hope to escape death? It is inevitable; it is common; it is necessary. Each of us wears a different shape and face; yet each is made of the same clay."

"First

the King, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
- "Jesus spoke unashamedly of the impending reign of God and embodied its reality in his ministry through his behaviour. Visionaries, particularly those who let their visions be the agenda for their lives here and now, inevitably confront the forces which want to control the present and mostly resist change."

- "It is odd to think that the 20th-century church developed a festival centering on Christ's image as king. In America we are as distanced from the image of "king" as we are from the image of "shepherd." Popular theology is more intrigued with the image of Jesus as CEO--a leadership role, to be sure, but hardly comparable to that of a king with a kingdom."

Magdalene and the Disciple Jesus Loved,"

Feminist Exegesis), 2000.
- "Primarily on the basis of John 19,25-17 and 20,1-18 , but also on the basis of John?s caution concerning female discipleship, on the basis of the repressive elements within and without the Johannine community when the authority of women is at stake, and on the basis of Charlesworth?s eight criteria, I conclude that Mary Magdalene should be seen as a serious candidate for the identification of the anonymous disciple Jesus loved in the Gospel of John."
