John 19:17-22

¹⁷And carrying His cross He went out to the place called ‘Skull’, which in Hebrew is called ‘Golgotha’;

¹⁸there they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.

¹⁹Now Pilate had also written a notice, and put it on the cross; and the inscription was: JESUS THE NATSOREAN THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁰So many of the Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; further, it was written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin!

²¹So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don't write, ‘The king of the Jews’, but that the fellow said, ‘I am the king of the Jews.’ ”

²²Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written!”
