‏ John 19:15

19:15  a The final words of the priests, “We have no king but Caesar,” stood in direct contradiction to the Old Testament understanding that God was Israel’s king (cp. Judg 8:23  b; 1 Sam 8:7  c; 10:19  d). Jerusalem and its leaders were in the process of killing their true king (John 18:37  e) while paying homage to Caesar, the pagan king of Rome.
