The letters INRI stand for "Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm". Latin uses I instead of J and V instead of U, so more clearly the message reads "Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum" or, in English, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews".

INRI-it's Latin

I-Iesus (Jesus--there's no J in Latin)
N-Nazareth (Jesus' hometown)
R-Rex (Latin for King)
I-Iews (Jews--again, no J)

The sign says "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews"

The sign that Pilate had mounted on the cross had it written in three separate languages: Aramaic, Greek, and Latin. But most portraits of it only have it in the Latin--blame the early church.

remember that this was a declaration of his crime against the roman empire.

he committed some of the worst blasphemys by jewish law and the law of God, as well.

but his offenses against the ruling power of the time, is what actually got him killed.
