Although Pilate declared Jesus innocent, he succumbed to the political pressure from the Jewish leaders. The soldiers mock Jesus as "King of the Jews," ironically proclaiming a truth they do not understand. Jesus carries His cross to Golgotha, where He is crucified between two criminals, fulfilling the Scripture. Pilate's inscription, written in multiple languages, declares Jesus as King, unwittingly testifying to His universal reign.
