Matthew Poole and continuators on John 18:32

32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spake, signifying what death he should die .

Christ had before this time told his Disciples that he should die, and that by the death of the Cross, as we read Matth. 2[illegible: 1 letter].19. God by his Providence ordereth things accordingly, to let us know, that the Scripture might be fulfilled to every tittle; Crucifying was no Iewish but a Roman death; had the Iews put him to death, they would have stoned him; but he must remove the curse from us, by being made a curse for us, being hanged on a tree, which was lookt upon as an accursed death, Gal. 3.13. The Iews therefore knowing nothing of this Counsel of God, yet execute it, by refusing themselves to put him to death, and putting it off to Pilate, tho possibly their design was but to avoid the odium of it. Thus God maketh the wrath of men to praise him.
