Joseph and Mary return to Israel after who died?

king herodComment: King Herod is correct, but which one?After Herod the Great died, he's the one that was alive when Jesus was born, then his kingdom was split three ways. One part, Judea was given to Herod Archelaus. This Herod was to be king over all Israel like his father, but Rome objected and he was granted only one part of the kingdom.Another son, Herod Philip II ruled the area north of Galilee (Luke 3:1) and Herod Antipas ruled Galilee and Perea. It was Herod Antipas who had John the Baptist beheaded.Herod the Great is the king that ordered the male children in Bethlehem to be killed who were two years and younger. (Matthew 2:16-18). At this time an angel warned Joseph to flee to Egypt. Then when Herod the Great died in 4 B.C. an angel told Joseph to take his family back home. But on the way back to Israel God warned Joseph about Herod Archelaus in Judea and so Joseph turned toward Galilee and bypassed Judea (Matthew 2:19-23).Herod Archelaus was a rotten ruler and in 6 A.D. (corrected chronology), which was his tenth year of rule he was exiled to Gaul (France) where he died later.So the answer to your question is Herod the Great.

Which ruler of Galilee beheaded John the Baptist?

After the death of King Herod the Great, his kingdom was divided amongst his sons. Herod Antipas became the ruler of Galilee. According to the Gospels, Herod Antipas had John the Baptist beheaded at the capricious request of his daughter, during the time of Jesus in Galilee (Matthew 14:6-11; Mark 6:21-28).However, we have one other source of information on John the Baptist. The Jewish historian Josephus said that Herod Antipas had the Baptist killed in quite different circumstances, because he disapproved of Antipas' marriage to his own brother's wife, who divorced her husband in order to marry Herod Antipas. The relevant text from Book 18 of Antiquities of the Jews:"Now many people came in crowds to him, for they were greatly moved by his words. Herod, who feared that the great influence John had over the masses might put them into his power and enable him to raise a rebellion (for they seemed ready to do anything he should advise), thought it best to put him to death. In this way, he might prevent any mischief John might cause, and not bring himself into difficulties by sparing a man who might make him repent of it when it would be too late. Accordingly John was sent as a prisoner, out of Herod's suspicious temper, to Macherus, the castle I already mentioned, and was put to death."The marriage must have taken place after 34 CE and John's execution seems to have taken place in the year 36 CE, at least six years later than what is expected from the New Testament, and after the crucifixion of Jesus. But notice that the historian Josephus does not say whether or not John was beheaded, merely that he was put to death. Macherus is such a long distance from Galilee that it seems improbable that a message could be taken from Galilee to the prison and John's severed head taken back to Galilee while the party was still in progress. So, while it was certainly Antipas who had John put to death, the circumstances were very different and we can not say whether he was beheaded or executed in another manner.

When did King Herod the Great conquer Jerusalem?

Although they had never previously been to Galilee, they then travelled to Nazareth in Galilee, so that Jesus might be called a Nazarene (Matthew 2:24).

What horrible thing did Herod do to Jesus?

A:In Matthew's Gospel, King Herod sought to have Jesus killed, forcing Joseph to flee with Mary and Jesus to Egypt. When Herod had died, they felt it safe to return to their home in Bethlehem but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled north to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Nazareth. In Luke's Gospel, King Herod had no interest in Jesus. After his birth, the young family was free to go to the temple in Jerusalem, Herod's capital city, and then travel peacefully to Nazareth, which was already their home town.

What was the year of Herod's infant purge?

There is absolutely no historical evidence that a mass infant killing occurred under Herod. Now Herod was capable of carrying out something like this, but scholars cannot prove it or even pinpoint a date or time. However it is possible that Herod threatened with the order then changed his mind. As far as a date goes, (if it happened at all) it would have to have been sometime before 4 B.C.E. as Herod died in that year.

What kept Joseph and Mary going to Bethlehem?

A:In Luke's Gospel, Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem once only, for the census under Quirinius. They lived in Nazareth, Galilee and did go the Jerusalem each year for the Passover, but had no reason to go to Bethlehem and are never depicted as doing so. In Matthew's Gospel, Mary and Joseph already lived in Bethlehem, their home town. They thus had no reason to travel to Bethlehem before the birth of Jesus, but had to flee to Egypt after his birth, for fear of King Herod. Presumably some years later, after word reached them that Herod had died, they began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but never arrived. On the way, Joseph was warned in a dream of further danger from Herod's son and Successor, Archelaus, so they turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Galilee. Although they planned to do so, Joseph and Mary never went to Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus and the flight to Egypt.

What did Joseph and Mary do each year?

A:In Luke's Gospel, Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem for the Passover each year, at least until he was twelve, when they lost him and later found him discussing the scriptures in the Temple. In Matthew's Gospel, they fled to Egypt for fear of King Herod, when Jesus was a baby, and remained there until after the death of Herod. They then began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but being warned in a dream about Herod's son and successor, Archelaus, turned aside and travelled to Nazareth in Galilee. In this story, they would not have gone to Jerusalem until Archelaus was also dead, when Jesus would have been at least 11 years old.
