Mark 15:26 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:26

And the superscription of his accusation
Or "the cause of his death", as the Syriac and Persic versions read; the crime for which he suffered:

was written;
over his head, upon the cross, to which it was fastened; the sum of which was,

the king of the Jews; (See Gill on Matthew 27:37).

25 And it was the third hour when they crucified him.

26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews."

27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.
