'King' in the Bible

Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel!"

Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.

So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him. They began to shout, "Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!"

"Do not be afraid, people of Zion; look, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt!"

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

Then Pilate said, "So you are a king!" Jesus replied, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world -- to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

But it is your custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?"

They came up to him again and again and said, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly in the face.

From this point on, Pilate tried to release him. But the Jewish leaders shouted out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar!"

(Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about noon.) Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, here is your king!"

Then they shouted out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate asked, "Shall I crucify your king?" The high priests replied, "We have no king except Caesar!"

Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews."

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The king of the Jews,' but rather, 'This man said, I am king of the Jews.'"
