{A superscription} (epigraph(885c)). Mr 15:26 has "the
superscription of his accusation" Mt 27:37 , "his accusation,"
Joh 19:19 "a title." But they all refer to the charge written
at the top on the cross giving, as was the custom, the accusation
on which the criminal was condemned, with his name and residence.
Put all the reports together and we have: This is Jesus of
Nazareth the King of the Jews. This full title appeared in Latin
for law, in Aramaic for the Jews, in Greek for everybody ( Joh
19:20 ).
