"Poor, weak, miserable man spat in the face of the King of glory, while a shout of brutal triumph arose from the mob at the degrading insult. They marred with blows and cruelty that face which filled all heaven with admiration. They will again behold that face, bright as the noonday sun, and will seek to flee from before it. Instead of that shout of brutal triumph, they will wail because of Him. EW 179.1"
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
The EGW passage alludes to Revelation 1:7, particularly the part about "every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him." The passage describes the future recognition of Christ by those who mistreated him and their subsequent lament.
"Jesus will present His hands with the marks of His crucifixion. The marks of this cruelty He will ever bear. Every print of the nails will tell the story of man's wonderful redemption and the dear price by which it was purchased. The very men who thrust the spear into the side of the Lord of life will behold the print of the spear and will lament with deep anguish the part which they acted in marring His body. EW 179.2"
"And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced."
The EGW passage directly refers to the piercing of Jesus and the future lamenting of those who pierced him, mirroring the prophecy in John 19:37.
"His vesture and on His thigh, written in living characters, “King of kings, and Lord of lords.” They cried to Him mockingly, as He hung upon the cross, “Let Christ, the King of Israel, descend from the cross, that we may see and believe.” They will behold Him then with kingly power and authority. They will demand no evidence of His being King of Israel; but overwhelmed with a sense of His majesty and exceeding glory, they will be compelled to acknowledge, “Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.” EW 179.3"
"And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
EGW directly quotes and applies Revelation 19:16 to a future event, making it a clear allusion.
"He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him."
The EGW passage references the mocking challenge to Jesus to come down from the cross, echoing the sentiment expressed in Matthew 27:42. While not a direct quote, the thematic connection is strong.
"And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."
EGW references the acclamation "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord," which is a direct quote from Matthew 21:9. The context is different (triumphal entry vs. second coming), but the phrase is central to both passages.
"The shaking of the earth, the rending of the rocks, the darkness spread over the earth, and the loud, strong cry of Jesus, “ It is finished ,” as He yielded up His life, troubled His enemies and made His murderers tremble. The disciples wondered at these singular manifestations; but their hopes were crushed. They were afraid that the Jews would seek to destroy them also. They felt assured that such hatred as had been manifested against the Son of God would not end with Him. Lonely hours they spent in weeping over their disappointment. They had expected that Jesus would reign a temporal Prince, but their hopes died with Him. In their sorrow and disappointment, they doubted whether He had not deceived them. Even His mother wavered in her faith in Him as the Messiah. EW 179.4"
"And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;"
The EGW passage explicitly mentions the earthquake and the rending of rocks, directly alluding to the events described in Matthew 27:51.
"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
The EGW passage directly quotes and elaborates on the phrase "It is finished" from John 19:30, placing it within the context of the crucifixion events.
"And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned."
Both passages describe the reaction of the people present at the crucifixion. Luke 23:48 describes them smiting their breasts, while EGW describes the enemies being troubled and the disciples being crushed. While not a direct quote, the passages share a common theme of the emotional impact of the crucifixion on observers.
