John 19:17-22

17 ¹They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, ²bearing His own cross, to the place called ³the Place of a Skull, which is called ⁴in Hebrew, Golgotha.

18 There they crucified Him, and with Him ⁵two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.

19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, "⁶JESUS THE NAZARENE, ⁷THE KING OF THE JEWS."

20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written ⁸in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.

21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, '⁹The King of the Jews '; but that He said, 'I am ¹⁰King of the Jews.' "

22 Pilate answered, "¹¹What I have written I have written."
