What does the Bible say about Jesus as the King of the Jews?

The title 'King of the Jews' is prominently featured in the New Testament, particularly at the crucifixion, where Pilate inscribed it on the cross of Jesus (Mark 15:26). This declaration not only fulfills Old Testament prophecies, such as Isaiah 9:6, which speaks of a child born whose government shall be upon His shoulders, but it also highlights the rightful kingship of Jesus that was acknowledged even before His birth. Throughout His ministry, Jesus' miracles and teachings pointed to His royal authority, with people desiring to make him king after witnessing the feeding of the 5000. Ultimately, the testimony of His identity as the King is affirmed both by His actions and the fulfillment of ancient prophecy.
