35 Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: \u201cThey divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

36 Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

37 And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

38 Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

39 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

40 and saying, \u201cYou who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said,<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

42 \u201cHe saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

43 He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, \u2018I am the Son of God.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

44 Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

A board on which the crime of the condemned was written was generally carried before the criminal, who was led forth to the place of execution through the crowded streets. This custom was most likely followed with our Lord. Pilate himself had the superscription drawn up and it was written in three languages: Latin, Greek and the Aramaean dialect of Hebrew. The one here in Matthew was undoubtedly the Latin inscription, while the fullest, as reported by John “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews” was written in Arameaen and the one in Mark “The King of the Jews” is the Greek inscription. Pilate could not help himself, he had to write as he did, though he may have had the thought in mind to avenge himself and to mock the Jews. \u2014 Gaebelein, pages 597-598<\/span><\/h3>\n
