Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

And the charge inscribed against Him read:
The inscription placed above Jesus on the cross was a common Roman practice to display the crime for which a person was being executed. This served as a deterrent to others who might consider committing similar offenses. In the case of Jesus, the charge was written in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, ensuring that all who passed by could read it. This trilingual inscription highlights the universal nature of Jesus' kingship and the widespread reach of the Roman Empire.

THE KING OF THE JEWS.
This title, while intended as a mockery by the Roman authorities, holds profound theological significance. It acknowledges Jesus' messianic role as the promised King from the line of David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies such as those found in2 Samuel 7:12-16 andIsaiah 9:6-7. The title also reflects the tension between Jesus' spiritual kingdom and the political expectations of a messianic deliverer who would overthrow Roman rule. Pilate's inscription, though meant to ridicule, inadvertently proclaimed a truth about Jesus' identity and mission. This title connects to other scriptural references, such asJohn 18:36, where Jesus explains that His kingdom is not of this world, andRevelation 19:16, which describes Jesus as "King of kings and Lord of lords."

Persons / Places / Events

1.Jesus Christ
Central figure of the New Testament, the Messiah, and the Son of God. In this passage, He is being crucified.

2.Pontius Pilate
The Roman governor who authorized Jesus' crucifixion. He ordered the inscription as a formal charge.

3.Golgotha
The place where Jesus was crucified, also known as "The Place of the Skull."

4.Roman Soldiers
They carried out the crucifixion and placed the inscription above Jesus.

5.Jewish Leaders
They opposed Jesus and played a significant role in His arrest and trial.

Teaching Points

The Irony of the Inscription
The title "The King of the Jews" was meant to mock Jesus, yet it proclaimed a profound truth. Reflect on how God can use even the intentions of His enemies to declare His truth.

Fulfillment of Prophecy
The events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion, including the inscription, fulfill Old Testament prophecies. This underscores the reliability of Scripture and God's sovereign plan.

Public Declaration
The inscription was a public declaration of Jesus' identity. Consider how we are called to publicly declare our faith in Christ, even in the face of opposition.

The Kingship of Christ
Jesus' kingship is not of this world. Reflect on how His reign is characterized by humility, sacrifice, and love, contrasting with worldly power.

Understanding Misunderstanding
The misunderstanding of Jesus' kingship by both the Roman authorities and Jewish leaders serves as a reminder to seek a true understanding of who Jesus is, beyond cultural or societal misconceptions.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(26)The King of the Jews.--St. Mark gives the shortest form of the inscription.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 26. -And the superscription of his accusation was writtenover, THE KING OF THE JEWS. This would probably be the shortest form of inscription, and in Latin, "Rex Judaeorum." All the evangelists mention the inscription; but no two of them in precisely the same words. It appears by comparison of them that the whole title was, "This is Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." In the case of remarkable prisoners the accusation was written on a white tablet, and carried before them as they went to the place of execution. It was then placed over their heads when the cross was erected. St. John tells us that our Lord's title was written in three languages - Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. Such appears to be the proper order of the words, namely, the national, the official, and the common dialect. St. Mark, writing at Rome, would naturally mention the Latin title. It is quite possible that the superscription may have varied in the different renderings in which it was given. It is evident from St. John (John 21:19-22) that the title was much canvassed by the Jews and the chief priests. Bode says that this title was fitly placed over his head, because, although he was crucified in weakness for us, yet he shone with the majesty of a King above his cross. The title proclaimed that he was after all a King; and that from henceforth he began to reign from his cross over the Jews. And therefore Pilate was divinely restrained from making any alteration in the title, so that it should mean anything less than this.
