³ and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.

²⁹ And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

⁴⁹ And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.

²⁸ And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord `is' with thee.

²² And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

³³ Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁰ This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, `and' in Latin, `and' in Greek.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
