Exegesis
The verse begins with the demonstrative-object sequence touton ton titlon {τοῦτον τὸν τίτλον | toû-ton tòn tít-lon}, placing “this title” in the emphatic fronted position before the main verb.
In context — John 19:20
Therefore, many of the Jews read this title , because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
