Where did the number 14000 innocents killed by Herod come from?
AnswerThe Christian tradition that King herod slaughtered 14,000 infants in and around Bethlehem is taught by many religious leaders. But this did not come from history; Matthew's Gospel does not give us this figure; the story of the Slaughter of the Innocents is not even mentioned in Luke's Gospel; and it was unknown to the Jewish historian Josephus. The slaughter of 14,000 boys under 2 years old, in and around the small town of Bethlehem, even defies logic, because it implies the population of a major city. It is more reasonable to say that it comes from a Christian desire to portray Herod as so evil that he killed such an astonishing number of innocents. The facts are that there was no Slaughter of the Innocents.

Does the nativity appear in the Gospel of Matthew?
AnswerA version of the nativity appears in Matthew's Gospel in Chapter 1.An angel announces the divine conception of Jesus. Bethlehem appears to be the home town of Jesus' parents, Joseph and Mary. After Jesus was born, Magi came following a star from the east to see the new Messiah, whom they found in a house in Bethlehem. But Herod was afraid that Jesus would become king in his place. (Since Herod died as an old man in 4 BCE, this would have to have been many years earlier, before Herod knew that his time was almost up.) Jesus and his family fled immediately to Egypt, while Herod had all the infants killed, in order to remove a supposed rival. After Herod died, the family returned, but then decided to migrate to Nazareth in Galilee.
