Best Answer

There was no Syrian emperor at the end of the first century BCE. Syria was under Roman rule. the author of Luke's Gospel seems to have believed that Quirinius was the Roman governor at the time, but this is not possible if Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod, who ruled Judea, Samaria, Galilee and the Decapolis.

According to both Matthew and Luke, Jesus was born at some time during the long reign of King Herod. There was no governor of Judea during this period.

At the time Jesus is believed to have been born, Judea was part of King Herod's kingdom, which was nominally independent of Rome. Therefore, there was no governor of Judea at that time.
