And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
καὶ ἦν ἡ ἐπιγραφὴ τῆς αἰτίας αὐτοῦ ἐπιγεγραμμένη Ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
ἔγραψεν δὲ καὶ τίτλον ὁ Πιλᾶτος καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ· ἦν δὲ γεγραμμένον· Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the OF cross. And the writing was, JESUS NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν λέγων Σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ ἔφη Σὺ λέγεις
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καταβάτω νῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμεν καὶ οἱ συνεσταυρωμένοι αὐτῷ ὠνείδιζον αὐτόν
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀσπάζεσθαι αὐτόν Χαῖρε βασιλεῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων·
And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔστη ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ἡγεμόνος· καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ ἡγεμὼν λέγων Σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔφη αὐτῷ Σὺ λέγεις
And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
καὶ ἔλεγον Χαῖρε ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων· καὶ ἐδίδουν αὐτῷ ῥαπίσματα
And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
