Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the soldiers led him away into the hall,.... From the place called the pavement, where was the judge's bench, from which he passed sentence on Christ, to a large room,
called the praetorium, or judgment hall; being the hall, or room, where the praetor, or Roman magistrate, kept his court of judicature; and is the same place the Jews would not go into, lest they should be defiled, and become unmeet to eat the Chagigah that day; and into which Pilate had Jesus more than once alone,
John 18:28, but now he had a large company with him:
and they call together the whole band; very likely the soldiers, into whose custody Jesus was put, and who led him away, were the four soldiers that attended his crucifixion, and parted his garments; but for greater diversion they got together the whole band to which they belonged; John 18:28- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Called Praetorium - The hall of the “praetor,” or Roman governor, where he sat to administer justice.
Whole band - See the notes at Matthew 27:27.
