When Jesus is crucified on the cross, the Romans nailed a sign reading "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews" on the cross above his head
Rome often placed a sign indicating a criminal's offense on their cross. The title was meant to identify Jesus as a political threat to the Roman Emperor, and thus to Roman rule. The sign, meant to be an insult, instead serves as a declaration of Jesus's true identity and eternal kingship, a truth the Jews and Romans could not or would not see.
