說： 「那生下來作猶太人之王的在哪裡？我們在東方看見他的星，特來拜他。」 (馬太福音2:2 ) saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” (Matthew2:2 ESV) -- 彼拉多就對他說：「這樣，你是王嗎？」耶穌回答說：「你說我是王。我為此而生，也為此來到世間，特為給真理作見證。凡屬真理的人就聽我的話。」 (約翰福音18:37 ) Then Pilate said to him, 「So you are a king?」 Jesus answered, 「You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.」(John18:37 ESV)

主耶和華的靈在我身上；因為耶和華用膏膏我，叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人（或譯：傳福音給貧窮的人），差遣我醫好傷心的人，報告被擄的得釋放，被囚的出監牢；(以賽亞書61:1 和合本) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;(Isaiah61:1 ESV)

因有一嬰孩為我們而生；有一子賜給我們。政權必擔在他的肩頭上；他名稱為「奇妙策士、全能的 神、永在的父、和平的君」。(以賽亞書9:6) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah9:6 ESV)

他的政權與平安必加增無窮。他必在大衛的寶座上治理他的國，以公平公義使國堅定穩固，從今直到永遠。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成就這事。(以賽亞書9:7 ) Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. (Isaiah9:7 ESV)

第七位天使吹號，天上就有大聲音說：世上的國成了我主和主基督的國；他要作王，直到永永遠遠。(啓示錄11:15 和合本) Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 「The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.」 (Revelation11:15 ESV)
