Read John 19-21
John 19:20 says, "This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin." In Europe some places have signs written in several languages. In Canada signs are written in French and in English. In some places in the US, signs might be written in Spanish and in English.
They’re written in more than one language so the people expected to be reading the signs will be able to know what they say. They can do what they’re directed to do, avoid problems if it’s a sign of caution, or at the very least know what to expect next.
When we see something written or spoken in a language we don’t understand, we can get nervous. What are they trying to tell us that we’ll never know? Fortunately, God make Himself plain. When He wants to tell us something, He does it in ways we’ll understand.
