'Kings' in the Bible

What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? Look, those who wear fancy clothes and live in luxury are in kings' courts!

For I tell you that many prophets and kings longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.

So Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
