John 19:16-21

¹⁶Then therefore he delivered him up to them to be crucified. They therefore took Jesus;

¹⁷and bearing his own cross, he went forth into the place called Place of a Skull; in Hebrew, Golgotha;

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁹And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”

²⁰This inscription therefore was read by many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

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