“And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
King James Version (KJV)
27:35 They parted his garments - This was the custom of the Romans. The soldiers performed the office of executioners, and divided among them the spoils of the criminals. My vesture - That is, my inner garment. #Psalm 22:18|.
27:38 #Mark 15:27|; Luke 23:32.
Mt 27:37 THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. It was the Roman custom to place on the cross over the criminal's head, a "titulus", or placard, stating the crime for which he suffered. Lu 23:38 says that the title was written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, the chief languages then spoken, and all spectators would be able to read it.
And set vp ouer his head, his accusation written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEWES.
