John 19:21

thereupon the chief priests of the Jews went to Pilate, saying, don't write, "The king of the Jews;" but that he said, I am king of the Jews.

it was then about the sixth hour of the day before the sabbath of the passover: and he said to the Jews, behold your king.

and Pilate caused an inscription to be put over the cross, in these words, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
