Jesus was a Judean. "Jesus the Nazarene King of the Judeans" was what was written over his cross, not King of the Jews.

I guess you never had latin at school, but I'm always glad to help people out:

Jesus Nazarenus, Rex Judaeorum

Jesus from Nazareth, King of the Jews (Judeans = Jews, Judea = Roman province => inhabitants = Judeans = Jews) Maybe it would suit you well to learn another language, before you write wrong things:

examples of other languages that use to be closer to Latin in one way or the other for the word Jew:

Judio (Spanish)

Jude (German)

Judeu (Portugese)

Juif (French: By the pronunciation differences, here you can actually see, how the word got changed over the years into modern English)

 

ah yeah, you should listen more carefully to your religious education, it's one of the basic things you learn, if you have educated teachers, that the biggest tribe finally gave the name to the whole nation at Roman times.
