THE KING OF THE JEW, AND OF THE GENTILE

"And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was,

JESUS OP NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS." John 19:19

In Three Languages. — " Like the Rosetta Stone in the British

Museum, showing one inscription in three dialects ; like the inscribed

rocks at Behistan, recording the fame of Darius Hystaspes in three

forms of arrow-headed writing, so as to be understood by Assyrian,

Median and Persian readers — the inscription on the cross was written

in three languages, and these were the three keys to unlock all the

languages living in the world. So, without knowing what he was

doing, Pilate thus began the publication of Christ to all the world." —
