Reply to a query of 04Aug1999 by a Curious Questioner--
>CQ> Subj: Hebrew, Greek and Latin(See also previous message on Hebrew Greek Latin Title [part 1])
>CQ> I would like to see the inscription in the languages mentioned by John in Chapter 19. I would like to see it in each of the three languages. Do you have this inscription in the actual languages mentioned by John and caused to be written by Pilot?
>CQ> If not, do you know how I can find this. I would just like to see Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, as it appears in each of the three languages.
>CQ> I would appreciate any help you can be in my search.

The 1611 Authorized King James Version also has "letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew"! The original preface includes Greek and Latin words and phrases and the main 22 Hebrew letters are in Psalm 119.
The KING's English in the AV1611 has 27 letters in the alphabet counting the letter Æ (or æ) which is an A for Adam married to an E for Eve, (and what therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder! :)
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.
