   In Luke 20:24, Mark 12:16, and Matthew 22:20, the noun occurs in questions about the writing associated with a coin’s image; the APB renders the clause with “whose inscription?” or “whose is this image and inscription?” In Luke 23:38 and Mark 15:26, it refers to the written notice over Jesus, which the APB renders as “an inscription over him” and “the inscription of his charge.”

   Luke 20:24Mark 12:16Matthew 22:20Luke 23:38Mark 15:26

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB consistently uses “inscription,” whether asking about a coin’s identifying writing or describing the written notice over Jesus. The verse is read as a whole, so these renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the noun.
