Commentary on Matthew 27:37
Set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS (ἡ αἰτία αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένη, hē aitia autou gegrammenē)—the titulus or placard stating the crime. Pilate's inscription, written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin (John 19:19-20), proclaims ironic truth: Jesus IS King.The chief priests protested (John 19:21): Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate refused. His contemptuous dismissal of Jewish sensibilities became prophecy: Jesus is King of the Jews, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. The accusation is coronation.
