'King of the Jews' in the Bible

inquiring, "Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his Star in the east, and have come here to do him homage."

Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.

They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!"

Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

So Pilate questioned Him. "Are *you* the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.

"Shall I release for you the King of the Jews?" answered Pilate.

and when Pilate again asked them, "What then shall I do to the man you call King of the Jews?"

and went on to salute Him with shouts of "Long live the King of the Jews."

Over His head was the notice in writing of the charge against Him: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied.

"Are *you* the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!"

There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are *you* the King of the Jews?"

But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?"

Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, "Hail King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.

And Pilate wrote a notice and had it fastened to the top of the cross. It ran thus: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. "You should not write 'The King of the Jews,'" they said, "but that he claimed to be King of the Jews."
