What does the Bible say about Jesus being born King?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible affirms that Jesus was born King, as seen in Matthew 2:1-2 where the wise men seek the King of the Jews.
The account in Matthew 2:1-12 illustrates that Jesus was recognized as King from His birth. The wise men, guided by God's sovereign providence, traveled to acknowledge Him as such, asking, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews?' This title signifies Jesus' divine authority and messianic role as the Eternal King, while the affirmation of His kingship continues throughout His life, culminating in His crucifixion, where the inscription above His cross declared, 'Jesus, the King of the Jews.'
