Matthew 27:37
Context27:37 Above 2 his head they put the charge against him, 3 which read: 4 “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
1 tn Grk “And his”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
3 sn Mention of the inscription is an important detail, because the inscription would normally give the reason for the execution. It shows that Jesus was executed for claiming to be a king. It was also probably written with irony from the executioners’ point of view.
4 tn Grk “was written.”
