Which king ordered the boy babies in Bethlehem to be killed?
A:According to Matthew's Gospel, King Herod the Great ordered the death of all baby boys under two years old after he received a visit from the magi. This account is disputed. One reason for this scepticism is that the order forms part of a series of events by which the author of Matthew creates a parallel between Jesus and Moses. Another is that the Jewish historian, Josephus, reported every criticism of Herod for which he could find any record, yet made no mention of Matthew's Slaughter of the Innocents. Scholars say there is insufficient evidence that the magi even existed.
