Hebrew Greek Latin TITLE
Do you know what was written above Jesus when he was crucified? Are you sure? Check out this article.
Part 1: Title/Accusation
From a message by a Curious Questioner--
>CQ> Subject: Hebrew Latin GreekThere were only THREE "INSCRIPTIONS" at a time:
>CQ> Richard, if you would like to explain why there are listed FOUR SEPARATE INSCRIPTIONS over Christ's head in your fully historically, scientifically correct Author's Version, I would like to hear it.
1. (Hebrew, Greek, Latin ) --John (1st three :) 2. ( Greek, Latin, Hebrew) --Luke (2nd three :)
1. Keep in mind that John was with Jesus the whole way, including when Pilate WROTE the -title- and PUT it on the cross, BEFORE the soldiers parted the garments. (John 18:15, John 19:19, John 19:23)
2. AFTER the soldiers parted the garments, they sat down and watched him and then set up over his head his -accusation-. (Matt.27:35-37)
Pilate's initial hand-written copy was in Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
The 2nd copy put up by the soldiers was in Greek, Latin and Hebrew.
Apparently, Pilate first wrote "Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews" as the Title, but after the objections from the chief priests of the Jews, he kept what he had written, and instead of toning it down, a second writing was made with the more emphatic "THIS IS" included, which the soldiers posted above Jesus later on.
"And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS." (Mark.15:26)
"And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS." (Luke.23:38)
"And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS." (John 19:19)
>THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS (Matthew 27:37) > THE KING OF THE JEWS (Mark 15:26) >THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS (Luke 23:38) > JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS (John 19:19) >THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS (Final Combined)
>CQ> P.S. I accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.The word of faith says, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved; For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (What are you waiting for? :)
>CQ> I am also Roman Catholic. Am I Saved?
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved! Grace be to them that receive the love of the truth in Christ. Amen. --Richard

>>>CQ2a> Wrong, it was "Latin, Greek, and Hebrew" (just being picky there, folks)
>CQ2b> You quoted John 19:20 (Hebrew, Greek, and Latin);LET GOD BE TRUE! (as it is written! :)
>CQ2b> I quoted Luke 23:38 (Greek, Hebrew, and Latin).

(That's the score so far. :)
"Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written." (John.19:21,22)
>>RC> THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS
"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." (Jn.20:31)
Remember that Jesus is the Lord and be wise to receive the word of God as it is in truth. Grace be with you all. Amen.
