Johannes 19,21

Pontius

19 Pilatus hadde en innskrift skrevet og plassert på korset. Det sto: «JESUS FRA NASARET, JØDENES KONGE.»

20 Mange jøder leste denne innskriften, for stedet hvor Jesus ble korsfestet var nær byen, og det var skrevet på hebraisk, latin og gresk.

Jødenes yppersteprester sa til Pilatus: «Ikke skriv, ‘Jødenes konge,’ men at Han sa, ‘Jeg er jødenes konge.’»

22 Pilatus svarte: «Det jeg har skrevet, har jeg skrevet.»

23 Da soldatene hadde korsfestet Jesus, tok de Hans klær og delte dem i fire deler, en for hver soldat, med kjortelen tilbake. Kjortelen var sømløs, vevd i ett stykke.
