John 19:19 in Context — John 19

17 Jésus, portant sa croix, arriva au lieu du crâne, qui se nomme en hébreu Golgotha.

18 C’est là qu’il fut crucifié, et deux autres avec lui, un de chaque côté, et Jésus au milieu.

19 Pilate fit une inscription, qu’il plaça sur la croix, et qui était ainsi conçue: Jésus de Nazareth, roi des Juifs.

20 Beaucoup de Juifs lurent cette inscription, parce que le lieu où Jésus fut crucifié était près de la ville: elle était en hébreu, en grec et en latin.

21 Les principaux sacrificateurs des Juifs dirent à Pilate: N’écris pas: Roi des Juifs. Mais écris qu’il a dit: Je suis roi des Juifs.
