'King' in the Bible

King Herod heard of this, because Jesus’ name had become well known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

When Herodias’s own daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you.”

Immediately she hurried to the king and said, “I want you to give me John the Baptist’s head on a platter—right now!”

Though the king was deeply distressed, because of his oaths and the guests he did not want to refuse her.

The king immediately sent for an executioner and commanded him to bring John’s head. So he went and beheaded him in prison,

So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”He answered him, “You have said it.”

So Pilate answered them, “Do you want me to release the King of the Jews for you?”

Pilate asked them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

And they began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

The inscription of the charge written against Him was:THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him.
