john 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: - Free Bible Online

john 19:17 They took Jesus therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.


      Joh 19:17-30. CRUCIFIXION AND DEATH OF THE LORD JESUS.

      17. And he bearing his cross--(See on Lu 23:26).
      went forth--Compare Heb 13:11-13, "without the camp"; "without the gate." On arriving at the place, "they gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall [wine mingled with myrrh, Mr 15:23], and when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink" (Mt 27:34). This potion was stupefying, and given to criminals just before execution, to deaden the sense of pain.

Fill high the bowl, and spice it well, and pour
The dews oblivious: for the Cross is sharp,
The Cross is sharp, and He
Is tenderer than a lamb.
                                                      KEBLE.
   

But our Lord would die with every faculty clear, and in full sensibility to all His sufferings.

Thou wilt feel all, that Thou may'st pity all;
And rather would'st Thou wrestle with strong pain
        Than overcloud Thy soul,
        So clear in agony,
Or lose one glimpse of Heaven before the time,
O most entire and perfect Sacrifice,
    Renewed in every pulse.
                                                      KEBLE.

JFB.
