Significance

"He went out" (19:17) in keeping with Jewish custom prescribing executions outside camp/city. Evangelist may find crucifixion between two criminals (19:18) reminiscent of Psalm 22:16: "band of evil men has encircled me." May also echo Isaiah 53:12: "numbered with the transgressors" (Beasley-Murray; Bultmann; Brown).
