Hello, watchman. The inscription which Pilate wrote, and had fixed at the top of the cross, announced the crime for which he was crucified. Matthew called it, aitia—the accusation, Mark and Luke called it epigrapheµ—the inscription, John calls it by the proper Latin name, titlos—the title: and it was this, Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. Pilate intended this as a disgrace, that he, being Jesus of Nazareth, should pretend to be king of the Jews. The Jewish leaders however, took offense at the wording, for they would not have it written, "king of the Jews" but rather: "he called himself, I am the king of the Jews". In this they show themselves to be so spiteful to smear His honor along with His body. They were filled with such malice that they were attempting to soil His character, jealous as they were concerning the reputation of their beloved nation. It was not enough for these prosecutors to force Pilate to condemn Christ against his will, but they forced the issue over such a trivial matter. And worse yet, after charging Christ with the crime, had never even proved that He was guilty of such. |

As I have written in my profile. My question was why did they want to change the writting. I mean they got what they wanted so "WHY" Here is Why. All from history. the Writing in "Hebrew JESUS OF NAZARETH THE [AND]KING OF THE JEWS" During the pass over the Jewish family would tie a bronze name tag around the "pet" lamb. Each father wanted God to know that his family was observing the passover. He wanted God to recognize that the lamb that bore his family name was being sacrificed for them. What could the name tag have to due with the Lord's crucifixion? John 19:19-20 Pilate wrote it " or did he" remmeber in Jn 19:10-11 [V10] Pilate said he had the power [V11] Jesus said you have no power except what God has give to you. We have to understand it was Jewish custom to take the first letters of the words or phrase and put them togeather to see if there was a hidden meaning. This custom dated back to the time of Babylonian captivity. The Roman Catholic church has used this ancient custom by four letters on the back of thier cruifixes "INRI" these are the first four letters of the four words of the inscriptin on the cross as they appeared in Latin "INRI" abbriviation the Laten phrase "JESUS THE NAZARENE THE KING OF THE JEWS" Taking a closer look at the individual Hebrew letters, remember the Hebrew is read from Right to Left. "Y"eshua "H"anatzri "V"emelech "H"ayhoodem "YHVH" In the O.T this is the unspeakable name of God [6,000 times in the O.T] Add the vowels and you get Jehovah or Yaweh] God put His His family name on the cross to show that Christ was His chosen lamb. The religious leadesr were saying to Pilate that if you don't change it you are telling every one that this man is "GOD" The Jews tag said this lamb is for you from us. God said this is my lamb from me for the whole world to see. |
