Barnes' Notes
That the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. See Ps 69:21. Thirst was one of the most distressing circumstances attending the crucifixion. The wounds were highly inflamed, and a raging fever was caused, usually, by the sufferings on the cross, and this was accompanied by insupportable thirst. Mt 27:35. A Mameluke, or Turkish officer, was crucified, it is said in an Arabic manuscript recently translated, on the banks of the river Barads, under the castle of Damascus. He was nailed to the cross on Friday, and remained till Sunday noon, when he died. After giving an account of the crucifixion, the narrator proceeds:
--Wiseman's Lectures, p. 164, 165, ed. Andover.
"I have heard this from one who witnessed it; and he
thus remained till he died, patient and silent,
without wailing, but looking around him to the
right and the left, upon the people. But he begged
for water, and none was given him; and the hearts of
the people were melted with compassion for him,
and with pity on one of God's creatures, who, yet a
boy, was suffering under so grievous a trial. In the
meantime the water was flowing around him, and he
gazed upon it, and longed for one drop of it; and he
complained of thirst all the first day, after which
he was silent, for God gave him strength."

Here are some remarkable circumstances of Jesus' death, more fully related than before. Pilate would not gratify the chief priests by allowing the writing to be altered; which was doubtless owing to a secret power of God upon his heart, that this statement of our Lord's character and authority might continue. Many things done by the Roman soldiers were fulfilments of the prophecies of the Old Testament. All things…
