17 | So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Gol'gotha. |
18 | There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. |
19 | Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." |
20 | Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. |
21 | The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, `The King of the Jews,' but, `This man said, I am King of the Jews.'" |
22 | Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written." |
