What title is used to describe the child in the passage?

• A. Prince of Peace
• B. King of the Jews
• C. Messiah
• D. Prophet

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is identifying a specific royal designation used for the child in that text. The passage explicitly describes the child as the king of the Jewish people, signaling a royal lineage and a messianic role tied to fulfilling expectations of rightful rule over Israel. This title directly names his authority and identity in the context given, making it the most precise fit for what the passage conveys about the child’s role.

Think of the other options as describing related aspects of who the child might be: Prince of Peace highlights a peaceful, divine attributes of a future reign; Messiah is the broad term for the anointed one or savior; Prophet points to a messenger voice from God. While these ideas may be associated with the child in broader tradition, they do not match the exact designation the passage uses. The phrase King of the Jews focuses on his kingship specifically over the Jewish people, which is why it’s the best description for this context.
