Many Titles of Christ from Scripture
Msgr. Charles Pope January 24, 2019
There are many, many different titles of Christ in both the New and Old Testaments. If one studies them carefully, they can provide a mini-catechesis of the Lord Jesus.
Presented below are more than 150 different titles of Christ. For each title, I have included a link to the Scripture from which it was drawn. The list was compiled from various sources, but most come from The Catholic Source Book, which was compiled and edited by Fr. Peter Klein. In addition, some years ago my readers helped me to expand the list to its current state.
I have placed the list in PDF format here, in case youd like to save it for future reference.

I would also ask for your help. There may be other titles of Christ that are not on the list. I would be grateful if you would use the comments section to add any titles you notice are missing. If you know the scriptural reference, it would be helpful if you could include it, but if not I will try to locate it.
When considering an addition please consider whether it is truly a title or just a description. For example, kind is an adjective, and certainly describes Jesus, but it is not a title per se. Nouns show usually show better promise as titles of Christ, but even nouns do not always amount to a title. For example, walker is a noun, and surely Christ did a lot of walking, but again it is not a title per se.
Excellent list!
The biblical notations are live on the original article.

Monsignor Pope Ping!
Love This!
There is only One being without beginning and end. There cannot be more than one High Priest forever.
Heb 7:1-28. Jesus is a King and Priest. A Jewish man could only be a King from Judah or a priest from Levi, but not both.
I have a book of reflections about the names of Jesus. “He Will Be Called ...” is the title. I bought it at our church book sale last fall.
