PicassoInAct.,
John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
Sorry Catholics, INRI was not either on there, or it was spelled out. That would be the Latin writing. You have to be careful with your traditions, they are from 'other' traditions that are leading you into temptation and error.

You mean at the cross?
The traditional Latin abbreviation: INRI.
"Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum"
that is
"Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews"
Since the sign was in Greek, Latin and Hebrew (Aramaic) most people who passed by could read this "accusation". The Jews had used Jesus' preaching about his "kingdom" as an excuse to get him executed by the Roman oppressors. Governor Pilate played the joke back at them by putting this sign up, and we read in the Bible that the Jews asked Pilate to change the text so that it would be clear that Jesus only *claimed* to be king.
Some say the the Aramaic/Hebrew text was actually Yeshua Hanazri Wamelech Hayehudaiim, starting with the letters YHWH, the name of God. It is not the most natural rendering of the text in Aramaic but it would be a great joke to mock the Jews, and I think Pilate was capable of it.

It said: INRI - Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews.
It was put there on order of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who gave in to the people who wanted Christ dead and condemned him to be crucified.
At least that is what the Bible says.

Jesus the Nazorean, King of the Jews, in three languages. INRI is an abbreviation of it (the Latin one I believe).

INRI: King of the Jews
INRI is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVDAEORVM, which translates to English as: "Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INRI)

"Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews". It was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. The notation on crucifixes is a Latin abbreviation.
