The Jewish authorities answered Pilate, "If this man were not guilty of wrongdoing, we would not have turned him over to you."
After [hearing] this, Pilate tried to release Jesus, but the Jews shouted out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Everyone who claims to be a king [i.e., as they had accused Jesus of doing. See 18:37] is in opposition to Caesar."
Now Jesus stood in front of the governor [i.e., Pilate], who asked Him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You have said so."
So, Pilate went back into his headquarters and called for Jesus. He said to Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
They attached over His head [i.e., to the upright portion of the cross] the charge made against Him, which read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."
Pilate asked Him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You have said so."
The inscription, stating the charge against Him, was attached above His head [i.e., to the upright portion of the cross]. It read, "The king of the Jews."
They began bringing accusations against Him, saying, "We discovered this man misleading the people of our nation and telling them not to pay taxes to Caesar, and claiming that he himself was the Messiah, a king!" So, Pilate asked Him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" And Jesus answered him, "You have said so."
There was an inscription above Him [i.e., on the upright portion of the cross], stating, "This is the king of the Jews."
Then Pilate had an inscription written and placed on the cross [i.e., on the upright portion, above His head]. It read, "Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city [of Jerusalem]. It was written in the Hebrew, Latin and Greek languages. But the Jewish leading priests said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but 'He said, I am the King of the Jews.'" read more.
Pilate replied, "What I have written I have written." [i.e., "I am not going to change it."]
Pilate replied, "What I have written I have written." [i.e., "I am not going to change it."]
