INRI
维基百科,自由的百科全书
INRI 是拉丁文短语 IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVDAEORVM (Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum)的缩写,翻译成中文意思就是: "耶稣,拿撒勒人,犹太人的王" 。
Many crucifixes and other depictions of the crucifixion include a stylized plaque or parchment, called a titulus or title, bearing the letters INRI, occasionally carved directly into the cross, and usually just above the figure of Jesus.
圣经的约望福音 (19:19–20) 是这样描述的: 比拉多又用牌子写了一个名号,安在十字架上,写的是:「犹太人的王,納匝肋人耶稣。」 有许多犹太人念这名号;因为耶稣被钉十字架的地方与城相近,并且是用希伯来、罗马、希利尼三样文字写的。
有些东正教教堂会使用希腊字母 INBI,是基于十字架上的希腊文:Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὁ Bασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων。在许多东正教的圣画中,会将其改为 ὁ Bασιλεὺς τοῦ κόσμου (世界的王),这并不表明原来写的就是这个,而是表明原来写的文字的意义。
当比拉多不愿意不经过审判就钉死耶稣时,他引用的是当时罗马政府允许犹太人有限自治的条约。而犹太祭司长们起诉耶稣,认为他违背了这个有限自治的条约,因为耶稣声称他拥有他实际所没有的权力。比拉多于是希望耶稣否认他自己是“犹太人的王”,可是耶稣没有否认。
Some believe that the justification for his crucifixion was his claim to an illegitimate title. However, John 19:21–22 KJV, alludes that Pilate rejected the charge that Jesus was crucified because he falsely claimed to be king and instead stated that Jesus was crucified because he was the King of the Jews. Thus, some Christians claim that Pilate was personally convinced that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. The consequence of this is taken to the logical extreme by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, which regards Pilate as a saint (commemorated on June 25) based on a tradition of his conversion to Christianity and martyrdom by crucifixion. Most historians outside the Ethiopian church have rejected this tradition as spurious.
Conspiracy theories regarding the Society of Jesus — the Jesuits — accused them of harboring the secret meaning of Iustum Necare Reges Impios, interpreted to mean sanctioning the murder of impious kings or tyrants who opposed the Roman Catholic Church.
