SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:32
para que se cumpliese el dicho de Jess, que había dicho, sealando de qu muerte había de morir.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 18:32
Verse 32. That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled] Or, thus the word was fulfilled. God permitted the Jews to lose the power of life and death, in the sense before stated, that according to the Roman laws, which punished sedition, &c., with the cross, Christ might be crucified, according to his own prediction: chap. xii. 32, iii. 14.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled , etc.] That he should be delivered by the Jews to the Gentiles, to crucify him; and that he should be lifted up from the earth, and as the serpent upon the pole: which he spake, signifying what death he should die ; ( Matthew 20:19, John 12:32,33, 3:14) and which was brought about this way, by the providence of God conducting this whole affair; and was cheerfully submitted to by Christ, in great love to his people, to redeem them from the curse of the law, being hereby made a curse for them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-32 - It was unjust to put one to death who had done so much good, therefor the Jews were willing to save themselves from reproach. Many fear the scandal of an ill thing, more than the sin of it. Christ had said he should be delivered to the Gentiles, and they should put him to death hereby that saying was fulfilled. He had said that he should be crucified, lifted up. If the Jews had judged him by their law, he ha been stoned; crucifying never was used among the Jews. It is determine concerning us, though not discovered to us, what death we shall die this should free us from disquiet about that matter. Lord, what, when and how, thou hast appointed.

32. By what death (poiw qanatw). More correctly, by what manner of death. So Rev. Compare xii. 32; Matt. xx. 19. Crucifixion was not a Jewish punishment.
