Bible Comments

The place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; as all their places of execution were, within two furlongs, or thereabouts. It was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin; it was written in all three languages, that not the Jews only, but all such strangers as were come up to the feast, might understand it.
