32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
and they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and the third day he shall rise again.
Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me. But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon. And when they have scourged [him] they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.
For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him up to the nations:
Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things.

And they stoned Stephen, praying, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

Commentary on John 18 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 18
