>>Mark, who wrote to the Romans, didn't write in Latin, but John, who wrote to the Jews and Greeks, did?<<

What part of each of them quoted a different rendition of the inscription above Jesus don’t you get? It’s a rather simple concept. Whether they wrote the letter in Greek, Hebrew or Latin doesn’t matter. They each quoted one of the three inscriptions. Straining at gnats is getting a little old.

You assigned this arbitrarily in terms of language and in choice of author. You further have three languages and four authors who all write different verses.

The fact is that you are extra Scriptural here; this is a logical outcome of somebody who follows his own personal church and creates his own personal doctrines and interpretation of Scripture.

Do you believe each of those writers was inspired by the Holy Spirit what to write or not? Was Jesus correct when He told them that the Holy Spirit would “bring to their remembrance” or not?

"You assigned this arbitrarily in terms of language and in choice of author."

There are three Scriptural accounts of the inscription. Only one, Luke, mentions using three different languages. John says that Pilate wrote it and says nothing of different languages.

However, not all Bible translations contain the mention of the three languages in Luke and many of the early Greek manuscripts do not contain it. Some believe that this was included by later translators and transcribers to resolve this difficulty. In any event it forces us to look to the ENTIRE Revealed Word as a whole to determine the Message of Jesus and to not try to base or twist Christianity on a single verse.
