'Read' in the Bible

and He did not need anyone to testify concerning man [and human nature], for He Himself knew what was in man [in their hearts—in the very core of their being].

Pilate wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, "Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
