This is from a facebook post I made, and posting here for posterity.

A couple of you have probably seen this coming for a little while, but last night I did something I never actually thought I’d do. I had a lengthy one to one, face to face meeting first with the Pastor and then the Associate Pastor of my church, to let them know I was leaving the Baptist Tradition, in favor of the Anglican Tradition.

Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum

᾽Ιησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν ᾽Ιουδαίων

יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים Or ܝܼܫܘܿܥ ܢܵܨܪܵܝܵܐ ܡܲܠܟܵܐ ܕܝܼܗܘܼܕܵܝܵܐ

Hebrew or Aramaic, depending on how you interpret the word the Greek word “Hebraisti (Ἑβραϊστί )” in John 19:20. Aramaic was a common language (along with Greek) of the area at the time, and a likely choice. However, Pilate was highly displeased with the Jewish Sanhedrin, and may have had it written in Hebrew, their ecclesiastical language (and is explicitly a Jewish language), as a dig at them specifically. Which considering their response, may have hit the mark. There is, I think, significant evidence to believe it is written in Hebrew.
