What he wrote...
Robert MORTON
The Life of Jesus; read today: Inscription written by Pilate; Matthew
27:37; Mark 15:26; Luke 23:38; John 19:19-22
BBE: John Chapter 19
[19] And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing
was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[20] The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where
Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing
was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.
The Jewish leaders got mad at Pilate. They wanted him to change the
words, and he would not. He said that what he had written was what he
had written. The words are important. They tell us what Pilate
thought of Jesus. yes, Pilate had to kill Jesus, there could be no
king but Cesar, and he realized the Jewish leaders could have let this
go, so he told them that as far as he was concerned, yes, Jesus was
king of the Jews.
And He was, and it was said in all the languages.
And Pilate did what I should do. Declare Jesus kingdom to all that will listen.
Read for next time: "Forgive them…"; Luke 23:34
