"Where is the new-born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him."

Now Jesus stood before the Governor, and the Governor questioned him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked.

And they twisted a thorny crown for him, and put it on his head, and placed a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt before him, in mockery, crying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

They also placed above his head his accusation written, This is Jesus The King of the Jews

So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were told; and this story has been noised abroad among the Jews, and continues to this day.
