From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, "If you release this fellow, you're not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!"
Meanwhile, Jesus was made to stand in front of the governor. The governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You say so."

Above his head they placed the charge against him. It read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."
Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You say so."

There was also an inscription over him written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: "This is the King of the Jews."
Pilate wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, "Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Many Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. It was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. Then the Jewish high priests told Pilate, "Don't write, "The King of the Jews,' but that this fellow said, "I am the King of the Jews.'" read more.
Pilate replied, "What I have written I have written."
Pilate replied, "What I have written I have written."
