John 19 — Context

14

(It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, There is your King!

15

Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

16

So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

17

And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):

18

Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

19

And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

20

The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.
