King of the Jews A title mockingly applied to Jesus (Mark 15:18). Pilate posted this title (in Aramaic, Greek, and Latin) as an official notice over the cross upon which Jesus was crucified (Mark 15:26; Matt 27:37; John 19:19–20). The title is also used by the wise men from the east, who question King Herod about the newly born King of the Jews; in this case, Matthew may have been emphasizing Jesus’ Davidic descent as well as underscoring Herod’s suspicion (Matt 2:2).
