³⁷ They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

²⁶ The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

³⁸ An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

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

²⁰ Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'"

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