“The Apostles’ Hiding Place”................ They weren’t very good at it! I can still see them!.........
Nor was Peter a convincing denier..........................
263
“The Title on the Cross”
John 19
While Hebrew is read RIGHT to LEFT, Greek & LATIN are read Left to Right.
The sign has Greek and Roman letters in reverse mirror-image as well.......................
Good Morning, Dan.
Tissot was a painter, not a linguist................
Hi, Mary-Lou! :-)
Maybe he was sending some kind of hidden message...........................
We would all be in your debt if you would decode it for us...............
Well, all 3 messages in 3 languages are supposedly identical, like the Rosetta Stone.
Now, Pilate being an educated Roman, would have known Greek and Latin intimately, so I doubt he would have written it as depicted in the painting.
Now, the top line is Hebrew.
To the Jew, first.....
The second line is Greek.
And also to the Greek..........
The third line is Latin.
Ultimately the foundation of Christianity in the West.
If you compare the Top line's characters with those in the chart you will see that they are NOT reversed like mirror-images, so the artist intended the inscription to be as it is.
Stunning, powerful, emotional. A thread to treasure.
I can only guess Tissot was commenting on Hebrew's "backwardness" and how, because of Jesus, the rest of the world needs also to turn 'round: unless you become as these little ones....
Wait until you see tomorrow’s....
I can read the Latin one “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews (Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum). I assume the same in the other languages.
Thank you. All three are supposedly the same. I can’t read teh middle one. It’s Greek to me.......................
