John 19:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 There they crucified him[a] along with two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate also had an inscription written and fastened to the cross. It read, “Jesus the Nazorean, King of the Jews.”[b] 20 This inscription, in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, was read by many Jews, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city.

- John 19:19 The inscription is found in all four Gospels under a slightly different form. John gives the most complete form, corresponding to the Latin of the three forms: INRI = IESU NAZARENUS REX IUDAEORUM (“Jesus the Nazorean, King of the Jews”). See also note on Jn 18:5.
