Footnotes

  1. Matthew 27:35 This fulfilled the prophecy of Ps 22:18, “They divide My clothes among them.”
  2. Matthew 27:37 The wording of the inscription, which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, varies slightly in each Gospel account and was probably a combination of them all, “This is Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”
