What was the name of the temple where Jesus was found at the age of twelve?

Why did pontius Pilate send Jesus to King Herod?

AnswerLuke 23:4-7 " Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man..........And as soon as he knew that he (Jesus) belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time".


Who was Zerubbabel?

Zerubbabel was the head of the tribe of Judah during the time of the return from the Babylon exile. With the blessing of Cyrus of Persia (Ezra 1:1-2), Zerubbabel and Jeshua the high priest led the first band of captives back to Jerusalem. He was the prime builder of the second Temple, which was later re-constructed by King Herod. Zerubbabel was the grandson of Jehoiachin, the captive king of Judah (1 Chr. 3:17).


Did king herold build the first temple?

No. King Solomon, the son of King David built the first temple. That temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C. After the captivity, Cyrus of Persia allowed Zerubbabel the prince of Judah to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple (second temple). Tradition tells us that Zerubbabel fell short in architectural measurements and over the years the temple was starting to decay. In 20 B.C. Herod the Great took the temple down to its foundations and started rebuilding it. This temple was built in 1 year and 6 months, but not completely. Work was done on this temple for many years, and it is said that work was still being done in the year 64 A.D., just 6 years before it was completely destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Romans.


What is the relationship between Pilate and Herod?

Apparently not much of a relationship. Pilate was Governor of Judea. Herod Antipas was district ruler of neighboring Galilee. (There were many other in the line of Herod's." Actually Pilate and Herod had been enemies, possibly because of certain accusations that Herod had leveled against Pilate. But on the last day of Jesus' earthly life, when Jesus was brought before Pilate; Pilate had heard that Jesus was a Galilean. Herod was visiting in Jerusalem at the time; so Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, for Pilate had experienced trouble with the Galileans. This move on Pilate's part pleased Herod and they became friends. Acts 4:27 connects the two rulers as colluding against Jesus.

Which wall is the wall of Jewish temple in Jerusalem?

The wall variously known as the Wailing Wall or the Western Wall was built by King Herod as a retaining wall for the west side of the platform surrounding the Temple -- part of Herod's extensive remodeling of the Temple. It was the outermost wall dividing the Temple from the city of Jerusalem, and in the time when the Temple stood, it had no great importance except as physical support for the Temple grounds. The Romans destroyed the Temple, but in failing to destroy the Western Wall, they left it to become a monument to the Temple, hence its modern sacred status.

The temple that was when Jesus was alive had been around since the return of the jews to jerusalem after the captivity. Herod only improved the physical parts of the temple.
