The King on a Cross
17 aAnd He, bearing His cross, bwent out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,
18 where they crucified Him, and atwo others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.
19 aNow Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ’ ”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
