Jenkins on Linux AWS can not start

Today, I have installed Jenkins on Linux AWS can not start. Then start it, but an error as below.

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# service jenkins restart

Jenkins requires Java versions [8, 11] but you are running with Java 1.7 from /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.231.x86_64/jre
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: 51.0

I have installed java Version 1.8.x. Check Java version on Linux AWS the default version 1.7.x.

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# java -version
java version "1.7.0_231"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (amzn-2.6.19.1.80.amzn1-x86_64 u231-b01)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.231-b01, mixed mode)
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.242.b08-0.50.amzn1.x86_64
