John 19:19-21

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title, and set (it), or put (it), on the cross; and it was written, Jesus of Nazareth, king of Jews, (or the King of the Jews).

²⁰Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified, was nigh the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

²¹Therefore the bishops of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not thou write king of Jews, but that he said, I am king of Jews. (And so the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write The King of the Jews, but that he said, I am the King of the Jews.)
