Contextual Overview

28 It was early in the morning when Jesus was taken from Caiaphas to the building where the Roman governor stayed. But the crowd waited outside. Any of them who had gone inside would have become unclean and would not be allowed to eat the Passover meal. 29 Pilate came out and asked, "What charges are you bringing against this man?" 30 They answered, "He is a criminal! That's why we brought him to you." 31 Pilate told them, "Take him and judge him by your own laws." The crowd replied, "We are not allowed to put anyone to death." 32 And so what Jesus said about his death would soon come true. 33 Pilate then went back inside. He called Jesus over and asked, "Are you the king of the Jews?" 34 Jesus answered, "Are you asking this on your own or did someone tell you about me?" 35 "You know I'm not a Jew!" Pilate said. "Your own people and the chief priests brought you to me. What have you done?" 36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom doesn't belong to this world. If it did, my followers would have fought to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. No, my kingdom doesn't belong to this world." 37 "So you are a king," Pilate replied. "You are saying that I am a king," Jesus told him. "I was born into this world to tell about the truth. And everyone who belongs to the truth knows my voice."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled,.... That he should be delivered by the Jews to the Gentiles, to crucify him; and that he should be lifted up from the earth, and as the serpent upon the pole:

which he spake, signifying what death he should die;

Matthew 20:19 and which was brought about this way, by the providence of God conducting this whole affair; and was cheerfully submitted to by Christ, in great love to his people, to redeem them from the curse of the law, being hereby made a curse for them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

That the saying of Jesus ... - To wit, that he would be delivered into the hands of the Gentiles and be crucified, Matthew 20:19. Neither of these things would have happened if he had been put to death in the way that the Jews first contemplated, Matthew 26:4. Though it should be admitted that they had the power, in religious cases, to do this, yet in such a case it would not have been done, as Jesus predicted, by the Gentiles; and even if it should be admitted that they had the right to take life, yet they had not the right to do it by crucifixion. This was particularly a Roman punishment. And thus it was ordered, in the providence of God, that the prediction of Jesus in both these respects was fulfilled.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled — Or, thus the word was fulfilled. God permitted the Jews to lose the power of life and death, in the sense before stated, that according to the Roman laws, which punished sedition, c., with the cross, Christ might be crucified, according to his own prediction: John 12:32; John 3:14.
