And over his head they put the charge against him, which read: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. The titulus — the written charge nailed above the condemned prisoner's head — reads This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. The charge that was the basis for crucifixion (claiming to be King) is also the most concise possible statement of the gospel: Jesus is the King of the Jews, and therefore the King of the nations.
