The initials INRI stand for the Latin phrase "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum," which translates to "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." These initials were placed on Jesus' cross by Pontius Pilate to indicate the charge against him.

Why did Pontius Pilate eliminate anyone who claimed to be messiah?

The only evidence that Pontius Pilate ordered the execution of anyone with messianic claims is in the gospel accounts of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus.The gospel trial and sentencing of Jesus was based on the testimony of the priesthood and went ahead according to their demands and against Pilate's apparent wishes. The implication found in the gospels is that they avoided criticising Pilate, the Roman governor, in order to avoid Roman scrutiny of the Christian religion, and placed all the blame on the Jews.

What does INR in christians mean?

INR is probably a mistaken form of "INRI," a Latin acronym that means Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum. This translates to "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" and refers to the title that Pontius Pilate had placed over Jesus' head during the crucifixion to make a mockery.


Where did they take Jesus on Friday Morning?

The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) say that they took Jesus to the Sanhedrin for trial at 3:00 o'clock in the morning, then to Pontius Pilate at 6:00 o'clock. After his trial, he was taken to Calvary for crucifixion and placed on the cross at 9:00 o'clock.John's Gospel is in basic agreement, but the author recognised that the Sanhedrin would never have met during hours of darkness to try Jesus, resolving this by eliminating the first trial and merely having Jesus taken separately before Annas and then Caiaphas, before being taken to Pontius Pilate.

How would you write the Latin phrase Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum in Arabic?

For the benefit of any capable English-to-Arabic translators out there: this Latin text is, according to the Gospel of John, a sign that was written by Pontius Pilate and placed on the cross when Jesus was crucified. It reads "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews".

Who ruled israel BEFORE Jesus was born?

In 63 B.C. Rome, under Pompey assumed control over Palestine. After much turmoil Herod (The Great) was placed on the throne in B.C. 37. Although Herod was king, the Romans still had control of Palestine and appointed Procurator's. Cyrenius was Procurator of Judea when Jesus was born and Pontius Pilate was Procurator when Jesus was crucified on the cross.


Why did Jesus during his trial with pontius Pilot not answer Pilot's question What is truth?

The passage this question refers to is John 18:33-38 in the Bible. (specifically verses 37-38) 37"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." 38"What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him. -(NIV ) Pilate seems to be asking a rhetorical question, as he leaves Jesus' presence before he has the chance to answer. "What is truth?" as if to say, "there is no such thing as truth", or "there is no One truth", or "give me a break". Had Pilate been truly inquiring Jesus would have responded, but as it was Pilate seems more concerned with relieving the political pressure be placed on him by the Jewish religious authorities of the day. If Pilate's question is sincere, then perhaps his immediate departure to plead Jesus' innocence (v. 38) reveals a desire of Pilate's to speak privately with Jesus, after having cleared his name. But as is evident, whether or not Pilate's question is sincere, Pilate's immediate concern is with maintaining order. Order at any cost was how Rome stayed in power and this was Pilate's duty. So, to that end, Pilate's first concern was to appease the angry mob and religious leaders (both of which pressure Pilate in all four gospels), even if that means ordering the execution of a man who he strongly believes is innocent. And that is just what happens (continue reading into John chapter 19).


Who was Herod that questioned Jesus before his crucifixion?

Each of the gospels attempted to address the problem of not offending the Roman authorities by making it appear that they thought the Romans were responsible for the death of Jesus. The primarly responsibility was of course placed on the Jews, as well as which it was known that the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, was an unpopular ruler. However the Gospel of Luke goes further, with an account that goes beyond the narrative of the other gospels. Luke has Pilate send Jesus to Herod, thus justifying him in washing his hands of the outcome. This was Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great, and king of Galilee.
