'King' in the Bible

Nathaniel replied to him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the hillside by himself.

So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

"Stop being afraid, people of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting upon a donkey's colt!"

So Pilate went back into the governor's headquarters, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"

Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is committed to the truth listens to my voice."

But you have a custom that I release one person for you at Passover. Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?"

They kept coming up to him and saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!" Then they began to slap him on the face.

From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, "If you release this fellow, you're not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!"

Now it was the Preparation Day for the Passover, about noon. He told the Jewish leaders, "Here is your king!"

Then they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Should I crucify your king?"

The high priests responded, "We have no king but Caesar!" Then Pilate handed him over to be crucified, and they took Jesus away.

Pilate wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, "Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

Then the Jewish high priests told Pilate, "Don't write, "The King of the Jews,' but that this fellow said, "I am the King of the Jews.'"
