JOHN 19:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.”
There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus between them — The crucifixion statement (stauröō, to crucify) is strikingly minimal: John records the fact without tormented detail. The symmetry—two others, one on each side, Jesus in the middle—may suggest messianic significance (Isaiah 53:12, reckoned among transgressors, though John does not interpret this way). John's restraint in description focuses attention on meaning rather than sensation.
