Write not, The King of the Jews.

This was the crime of which our Savior had been guilty they said. Pilate intended that the inscription should have. sting in it for the chief priests and elders and scribes. He had been frustrated and galled; and he took his revenge by flashing the idea before the public mind, that it was. crime, in the estimation of at least the chief priests and scribes and elders, to seek to have. Jewish king. Pilate's shaft did not miss his mark.

Thus the cross proclaimed the Kingship of Jesus.
