JESUS THE NAZOREAN
THE KIND OF THE JEWS
John also has the inscription in the three languages that would have been used for such a proclamation in the Imperial Roman Province of Judea: Latin, Greek and Hebrew.
It is the Latin form of John's version that has become the familiar "INRI" used in art. It comes from the first initials of the Latin words: Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum.
