Only St. John was actually there at the foot of the Cross. I'll cast my vote for John's being exact
You ever interview 5-6 people who witnessed a traffic accident - - from different angles? It's fascinating how the little things can vary.

They were all right. Jesus was Jesus Christ of Nazareth The King of the Jews. They are 4 different ways of saying the exact same thing......There are sentences like that even in the English language today..

how about "This is Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews" . It is possible they only put the words that were most relevant to the people they were writting too. I.e. Matthew the Jews, Mark the Romans, Luke the (i do not remember but belive it was the Greek) and John the world.

Um, why am I answering this? This question is a waste of your energy. They all mean substantially the same thing. And who knows -- the different translations probably are more different than one gospel to the next. "King of the Jews" seems to be the heart of the message.

None of them probably have a verbatiun quote as such, since the inscription was written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, and the writers simply quoted the general gist of what Pilate was trying to say.
If you are using this argument as a way of getting people to abandon their faith in Christianity, then boy this is weak.

If you ask 4 different authors to write the same story, not a one of them will use the EXACT same words. But, they will all have the same story, and have the same meaning to that story. Just like the gospels that your referring to. Exact words aren't important, but exact meaning is.

Well, its no big deal to me, seems like it all says the same thing just in another way...but I am guessing it might have been written in different languages, by different people and interpreted in different languages by different people.

It is what four people witnessed. Four different versions of the same story.
