John 19:19-21

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁹ Pilate wrote a notice and had it placed on the cross:

²⁰ Lots of the Judaeans read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was close to the city. It was written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.

²¹ So the chief priests said to Pilate, “Don’t write ‘The King of the Jews’! Write that he said, ‘I am the King of the Jews’!”
