INRI

INRI

INRI is an acronym of the Latin phrase IESVS·NAZARENVS·REX·IVDÆORVM (Jesus Nazarenus, rex Judæorum), which translates to English as: "Jesus Nazarene, King of the Jews". It appears in the New Testament of the Christian Bible in the Gospel of John () "The King of the Jews"; and Luke (". Some representations change the title to "ΙΝΒΚ" ", alludes that Pilate rejected the charge that Jesus was crucified because he falsely claimed to be king and instead stated that Jesus was crucified because he "was" the King of the Jews. Thus, some Christians as early as the second century [Tertullian, "Apologeticum c. Gentes", [http://www.tertullian.org/lfc/LFC10-06_apologeticum.htm#C21 chapter 21] (A.D. 198)] report that Pilate was convinced that Jesus was the Messiah.
