What was written there? From the Scriptures, we read what was written on the cross and who wrote it there. The first complete combined bible was translated by St. Jerome into Vulgate Latin. The bible, Gutenberg Bible was produced in the year C.
Who was the person in charge of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ? Who was he? Most people only know Pontius Pilate as the man who gave the order to crucify Jesus but do not know who he was, his origin, full name, the language he spoke.
His full name, Marcus Pontius Pilatus which is his full name in Latin and they pay their tax to them. When Pontius was given birth to was not stated or confirmed but he was a Governor of the Roman Province of Judaea. The Gospel of John also described what was written above the head of the Son of God on the cross:. And the writing was, Jesus of Nazareth the king of the Jews. Note that the common language that was spoken in the time of Jesus is Greek and the Aramaic , some people spoke Hebrew.
What is Titulus Crucis? So even though Latin was the official language, Hebrew and Greek were also very important languages, and they were very common there. It would have been very difficult to do, because these three different foreign languages were not in common use in Medieval Europe when all these paintings were being made.
And your audience might not read any of those languages in later times. Even if you were successful at writing it out, who would be able to read it? They used the initials of the four Latin words, and then it was easier to train the viewer what INRI stands for. Consider these fascinating facts:. But the record of Jesus coming from Nazareth comes all the way from the Old Testament where it was prophesied hundreds of years ahead of time! According to Matthew , also see Mark and Luke Pilate ordered the inscription as an accusation, or a charge.
It was common in the day to place the charge on the cross above the head of the accused. But how incredible it is that by leveling this charge against the Messiah, Pilate was actually confirming his identity!
Because they knew the Messiah would have the scepter Genesis In other words, the Messiah would be acknowledged as the One with authority and would be hailed as King.
The bronze serpent in the wilderness was lifted up on a wooden pole -just as would later happen to the Son of Man.
He deserved the punishment for deceiving Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. And Man deserves the punishment for following the serpent instead of following God. The serpent was bronze because bronze is the Biblical metal of judgment. And the serpent deserved judgment. According to Pampa Museum , this is because the use of the letter u did not come into use in English until the 18th century. Before this, Old Latin used the letter v for capitals and the letter u for lowercase. Therefore, any Roman building was inscribed with the letter v instead of the letter u.
This is now considered to be a neoclassical style alluding to Latin times. There are some alternate forms of INRI used in different places. He ordered this declaration and placed it on the cross where Jesus was hung. Although most depictions of this cross only write the phrase in Latin, it was also represented in Greek and Aramaic on the cross.
Other sources state that it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek instead. This phrase was written on the cross in three different languages so that everyone who saw it knew what Jesus was being charged with. People now use this to be reminded that Jesus is king, and they do not use it in a mocking way in modern times.
