15:2 The phrase king of the Jews is the Gentile equivalent of the Jewish title, “King of Israel” (15:32). • You have said it: Jesus’ reply to Pilate’s question is found in all four Gospels; Jesus clearly understood himself to be a king (10:37-38; 11:9-10; 12:35-37), and Pilate eventually crucified him on this charge (15:26), although Pilate understood that Jesus was not a political threat (John 18:33-39).
