"Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him."

Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "So you say."

They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.
