释义 | > as lemmasKing of the Jews P2. King of the Jews: (a title of or name for) Jesus Christ. [After post-classical Latin rex Iudaeorum (Vulgate), itself after Hellenistic Greek βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων (New Testament).] The title occurs in all four Gospels, first in the Nativity narrative (Matthew 2:2; compare quots. c1275, a1425), and subsequently in the Passion narrative, where Pilate is said to have affixed the inscription INRI (Latin Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum ‘Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews’) to the Cross above Jesus's head (compare John 19:19, and also Matthew 27:37, Mark 15:26, and Luke 23:37).
