Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.

Jesus therefore, knowing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, withdrew again to the mountain alone.

took branches of palmtrees, and went forth to meet him, crying aloud, Hosanna! blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel!

"Fear not, daughter of Zion! lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an asss colt."

Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice.

But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I release to you the king of the Jews?

and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and they gave him blows on the face.

From this time Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Caesar. Every one that maketh himself a king, setteth himself against Caesar.

Now it was the preparation of the passover. It was about the sixth hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king!

Upon this they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews."

Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The king of the Jews; but that he said, I am king of the Jews.
