Context
18Hapo ndipo walipomsulubisha. Pamoja naye walisulubisha watu wengine wawili, mmoja kila upande wake, naye Yesu katikati. 19Pilato akaamuru tangazo liandikwe na liwekwe juu kwenye msalaba wa Yesu, likasema: “Yesu wa Nazareti, Mfalme wa Wayahudi.” 20Kwa kuwa mahali hapo Yesu aliposulubiwa palikuwa karibu na mjini, Wayahudi wengi walisoma maandishi haya yaliyokuwa yameandikwa kwa lugha za Kiebrania, Kiyunani na Kilatini. 21Viongozi wa makuhani wa Wayahudi wakapinga, wakamwambia Pilato, “Usiandike ‘Mfalme wa Wayahudi,’ bali andika kwamba mtu huyu alisema yeye ni mfalme wa Wayahudi.” 22Pilato akawajibu, “Nilichokwisha kuandika, nimeandika!”
