- Matthew 27:37
- "And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
- Mark 15:26
- "And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
- Luke 23:38
- "And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
- John 19:19
- "And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS."
- Problem:
- It is argued that the Bible cannot be verbally inspired since the Gospel writers do not quote the same superscription on the cross.
- Solution:
- Verbal inspiration does not require the writers of the Gospels to record the complete inscription unless such would be relevant to the purpose of their Gospels.
- There is no contradiction in the words of the inscription. This can be seen by the following comparison:
Matt. 27:37 - THIS IS JESUS |
THE KING OF THE JEWS |
Mark 15:26 - |
THE KING OF THE JEWS |
Luke 23:38 - THIS IS |
THE KING OF THE JEWS |
John 19:19 - JESUS OF NAZARETH |
THE KING OF THE JEWS |
The complete superscription probably read: "THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS."
