Question:
Who is the King of the Jews?

Answer:

The first king was Saul, although God’s choice was David.  Jesus was recognized by the wise men as the true King of Israel (Matthew 2:1,2).  Jesus, Himself, acknowledged that He was King of the Jews (Luke 23:3), although the people did not want Him to be their king (Luke 19:14).  They were expecting one who would come in and overthrow the Roman government.  However, Jesus came to save His people from their sins, not their political enemies (Matthew 1:21).
