Mark 15:26

The inscription ¹  of the charge against him read, “The king of the Jews.”

De 23:5; Ps 2:6; Ps 76:10; Pr 21:1; Isa 10:7; Isa 46:10; Zec 9:9; Mt 2:2; Mt 27:37; Lu 23:37,38; Joh 19:18-22

¹ 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.
