# The Names and Titles of Jesus > Son of God, Son of Man, Lord, the Word, Alpha and Omega, Emmanuel, Lamb of God, Christ, Lion of Judah, and the names in Isaiah 9:6, with the Greek and Hebrew, every King James verse, and the titles the Old Testament gives the LORD. - Canonical: https://apologetics.wiki/god/names-and-titles-of-jesus - Religions: none - Denominations: none - Beliefs: God - Tags: god, jesus, names, greek - Updated: 2026-10-13 - Author: [Paul Ambrose](https://apologetics.wiki/author/hi-its-paul) ([GitHub](https://github.com/hi-its-paul)) import TitleTable from '../../components/TitleTable.astro'; import SharedTitleTable from '../../components/SharedTitleTable.astro'; import GreekCardScript from '../../components/GreekCardScript.astro'; import GreekShare from '../../components/GreekShare.astro'; import { JESUS_TITLE_CATEGORIES, JESUS_GREEK, JESUS_HEBREW, SHARED_WITH_YHWH } from '../../data/god/jesus-titles'; import { distinctCount } from '../../lib/god-references'; export const category = (id) => JESUS_TITLE_CATEGORIES.find((item) => item.id === id); export const titleCount = JESUS_TITLE_CATEGORIES.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.titles.length, 0); export const verseCount = distinctCount(JESUS_TITLE_CATEGORIES.flatMap((item) => item.titles.map((title) => title.refs))); The Bible gives Jesus many names and titles. He is called God ([John 20:28](/bible/john/20/28)), the Son of God ([Matthew 16:16](/bible/matthew/16/16)), the Son of man ([Daniel 7:13](/bible/daniel/7/13); [Mark 14:62](/bible/mark/14/62)), the Word ([John 1:1](/bible/john/1/1)), the Christ or Messiah ([John 1:41](/bible/john/1/41)), the Lamb of God ([John 1:29](/bible/john/1/29)), Emmanuel ([Matthew 1:23](/bible/matthew/1/23)), and Alpha and Omega ([Revelation 22:13](/bible/revelation/22/13)). This page lists {titleCount} titles with the Greek or Hebrew and the King James verses, {verseCount} verses in all, and a table of titles the Old Testament gives the LORD and the New Testament gives Jesus. ## Key Points - Jesus is a name; Christ is a title. Christ is the Greek Χριστός, “anointed,” the same meaning as the Hebrew Messiah. [John 1:41](/bible/john/1/41) says, “We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.” See [What Does Messiah Mean?](/christianity/what-does-messiah-mean) - “Son of man” is the title Jesus uses of himself most often. It comes from [Daniel 7:13](/bible/daniel/7/13), which he quotes before the high priest in [Mark 14:62](/bible/mark/14/62). - [Isaiah 9:6](/bible/isaiah/9/6) names the child who is born: Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. The same Hebrew for “the mighty God” is used of the LORD in [Isaiah 10:21](/bible/isaiah/10/21). - In [Isaiah 44:6](/bible/isaiah/44/6) the LORD says, “I am the first, and I am the last.” In [Revelation 22:13](/bible/revelation/22/13) the speaker who comes quickly says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” - Several titles of the LORD, among them Shepherd, Saviour, Rock, and Lord of lords, are given to Jesus. The pairs are in the table below. [(1)](#ref-1) - His seven “I am” sayings in John have their own page, [The I AM Statements of Jesus](/god/i-am-statements-of-jesus). ## Titles of Deity The Greek for Son of God is υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, and for Lord κύριος, the word the Greek Old Testament used for the divine name. The case that these titles mean Jesus is God is [What Is the Deity of Christ?](/christianity/deity-of-christ) and [Is Jesus God?](/christianity/is-jesus-god) ## Titles of the Messiah ## The Names in Isaiah 9:6 ## Titles of His Work ## Titles Shared With YHWH The Old Testament gives these titles and works to the LORD, YHWH, and the New Testament gives them to Jesus. The pairs follow Torrey’s “Christ is God.” [(1)](#ref-1) Each row prints both King James verses. The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) renders several of these New Testament verses differently. Those verses are on [How Does the New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) Change Verses About Jesus?](/jehovahs-witnesses/how-the-new-world-translation-changes-verses-about-jesus) and [Who Is the Alpha and Omega?](/jehovahs-witnesses/who-is-the-alpha-and-omega) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What Is the Difference Between Jesus and Christ? Jesus, Ἰησοῦς, is his name, the Greek form of Joshua. Christ is a title, “the anointed one.” [Matthew 1:21](/bible/matthew/1/21) gives the reason for the name: “he shall save his people from their sins.” ### What Does Son of Man Mean? In the Gospels it is how Jesus refers to himself. In [Daniel 7:13–14](/bible/daniel/7/13) one “like the Son of man” comes with the clouds of heaven and receives an everlasting dominion. ### Who Is the Alpha and Omega? Revelation gives the title in [Revelation 1:8](/bible/revelation/1/8), [Revelation 21:6](/bible/revelation/21/6), and [Revelation 22:13](/bible/revelation/22/13). See [Who Is the Alpha and Omega?](/jehovahs-witnesses/who-is-the-alpha-and-omega) ## Keep Reading - [The I AM Statements of Jesus](/god/i-am-statements-of-jesus) - [The Names of God in Hebrew](/god/names-of-god) - [The Names and Titles of the Holy Spirit](/god/names-and-titles-of-the-holy-spirit) - [What Is the Trinity?](/christianity/the-trinity) ## Passages Quoted on This Page ### John 20:28 King James Version. > And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God. ### Matthew 16:16 King James Version. > And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. ### Daniel 7:13 King James Version. > I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. ### Mark 14:62 King James Version. > And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. ### John 1:1 King James Version. > In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ### John 1:41 King James Version. > He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. ### John 1:29 King James Version. > The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. ### Matthew 1:23 King James Version. > Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. ### Isaiah 9:6 King James Version. > For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ### Isaiah 10:21 King James Version. > The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. ### Isaiah 44:6 King James Version. > Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. ### Matthew 1:21 King James Version. > And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. ### Revelation 1:8 King James Version. > I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. ### Revelation 21:6 King James Version. > And he said unto me, It is done.
