Best Answer

Each of the gospels attempted to address the problem of not offending the Roman authorities by making it appear that they thought the Romans were responsible for the death of Jesus. The primarly responsibility was of course placed on the Jews, as well as which it was known that the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, was an unpopular ruler. However the Gospel of Luke goes further, with an account that goes beyond the narrative of the other gospels. Luke has Pilate send Jesus to Herod, thus justifying him in washing his hands of the outcome. This was not Herod the Great, who had died in April 4 BCE, but his son Herod Antipas, king of Galilee.

Who is Herod Antipus?

Herod Antipas was a younger son of Herod the Great. ("Herod" is a title in his case.) He was named Tetrarch of Galilee following his father's death. He divorced his wife in order to marry his brother's sister (who was also his niece). He is the Herod who was condemned by John the Baptist, whom he had beheaded at the request of his wife's daughter (also his niece). He also was the Herod who questioned Jesus Christ (along with Pilate) at the time of Jesus' crucifixion.


What is the name of Herod that wanted baby Jesus killed and the name of Herod that crucified him Jesus?

I am not certain of the question. The answer to the question as asked seems simple - Herod is the name of Herod. But I suspect that the writer wants to ask something else. Maybe English is his/her second language. Please restate the question or ask it in your native language.Answer:Herod the Great (37 BC to 4 BC) was the Herod at the time of Jesus' birth and toddler years when the killing of the Innocence was ordered by him.Herod Antipas who was one of three sons, assumed the throne and ruled from 4 BC to 39 AD. He is the Herod of the time of crucifixion of Jesus - 31 AD.There was also another son given this name - Herod Archelaus who was just like his father the Great and was eventually killed by the Romans in 6 AD.The third and final son was named differently - Philip.

Pilate learned that Jesus was a Galilean and was under Herod's jurisdiction. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, who had heard about Jesus and had wanted to see Him.


Who was in charge of the Jews in Jesus time?

It is thought that Jesus was born in 7-2 B.C. and died in 30-33 A.D. From 37-4 B. C. the land of the Jews was ruled by Herod the Great as a client state of Rome. Herod the Great ordered the killing of all boys of the age of two and under in Bethlehem and its vicinity because he wanted Jesus dead. From 4 B.C. to 6 A.D Judea, Samaria and Idumea were ruled by Herod Archelaus, one of the sons of Herod the Great. In 6 A.D. on the request of the Jews, the emperor Augustus deposed Herod Archelaus and annexed Judea, Samaria and Idumea to the Roman Empire.
