What does the Bible say about Jesus as the King of the Jews?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible affirms Jesus as the King of the Jews, highlighting His sovereign rule and divine authority.
Jesus is proclaimed as the King of the Jews in several passages, including Matthew 2:2, where the wise men inquire about His birth. This title signifies not only His kingship over Israel but also represents His ultimate sovereignty over all creation, as seen in Isaiah 9:6, stating that the government shall be upon His shoulder. His reign is established by God’s will and is recognized in the New Testament where even Pilate acknowledges Him as King during His trial. As the Article of Faith, Jesus being the King indicates His authority and the reality that He governs all aspects of life, both spiritual and earthly.
