Wesley's Notes for John 18:30

18:28 They went not into the palace themselves, lest they should be defiled - By going into a house which was not purged from leaven, #Deut 16:4|. #Mt 27:2|; Mr 15:1; Lu 23:1.

18:31 It is not lawful for us to put any man to death - The power of inflicting capital punishment had been taken from them that very year. So the sceptre was departed from Judah, and transferred to the Romans.

18:32 Signifying what death he should die - For crucifixion was not a Jewish, but a Roman punishment. So that had he not been condemned by the Roman governor, he could not have been crucified. #John 3:14|.
