The people were looking for the messiah who was prophesied to come in the Jewish (Old Testament) writings.

When people saw the many miracles that Jesus did and heard His teaching they believed Jesus was the messiah. They thought He was going to deliver Israel from Roman rule and be king of Israel.

So when Jesus was crucified their hopes were lost. Jesus' disciples also did not fully understand what had happened until Jesus appeared to them after His resurrection and taught them more about why He had to die.

Who was the King at Jesus birth?

The answer is King Herod There was no longer a kingdom of Israel at the time attributed to the birth of Jesus. The southern state of Judah, known to the Romans as Judea, was the homeland of the Jews and had gradually expanded since the time of the Maccabeans to include the former territory of Israel. Both Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel say that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod the Great. Herod was an Idumean and was imposed on Judea by Roman military might, one reason that he was very unpopular among the Jews.
