John 19:19-22

19Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”

20Thus many of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek.

21Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The king of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am king of the Jews.’”

22Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
