Is it true that the wise men came and to see Jesus?
Yes it is true that the wise men came to see Jesus . As History states that King Herod ordered all boys below two years to be killed as the wisemen cheated King Herod.
What was King Herod's last name?
They did not have names back then as we do now. For example, Jesus was known as Jesus of Nazareth. Thus, to identify people, often they used the town they came from. As far as King Herod, he was most commonly known as Herod the Great.
How was the family warned that someone wanted to kill Jesus?
An angel came to Joseph in a dream and warned him to take his family to Egypt immediately as Herod was looking for the child jesus.
Who was the judge that the Romans brought Jesus to?
Jesus was brought from Caiaphas' house to appear before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. The Jewish leaders charged Jesus with subversion of both Israel and Rome. Two of their charges were designed especially to get Pilate's attention. The first was that Jesus opposed paying taxes to Caesar and that Jesus claimed to be king. Finding no fault in Him, Pilate summoned Jesus into Herod's palace and questioned Him further. In the course of the conversation, Pilate learned Jesus was a Galilean and was under Herod's jurisdiction. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, who had heard about Jesus and wanted to see Him. Herod had Jesus dressed in a robe and sent back to Pilate. When Jesus came back, Pilate told the Jewish leaders that neither he nor Herod could find Jesus guilty of a crime that brought with it the death penalty.
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.
Who was the king of israel when jesus was born?
A:The simple answer would be that Herod the Great was king when Jesus was born, as the Gospels of Matthew and Luke both agree on this. However, the Gospel of Luke also says that Jesus was born during the census of Qurinius, governor of Syria. The problem here is that Herod died in 4 BCE, while Qurinius was appointed in 6 CE, ten year later, with instructions to conduct a census in Judea. This was the only census under Qurinius, and the first to be conducted by Rome in the Levant, but it also took place at a time when there was no longer a king in Judea. The explanation is, as John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) informs us, that the nativity stories do not contain any historical truth.
What four events happened after the birth of Jesus?
Matthew's Gospel: (1)magi came to worship the baby Jesus; (2) the young family fled from Bethlehem to Egypt for fear of King Herod; (3) Herod slaughtered the baby boys of Bethlehem; (4) after the death of Herod, Joseph, Mary and Jesus returned to go back to their home in Bethlehem but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and migrated to Nazareth in Galilee.Luke's Gospel: (1) poor shepherds came to worship the baby Jesus; (2) Jesus was circumcised after eight days; (3) when the days for Mary's purification were completed, the family went from Bethlehem to the Jerusalem Temple; (4) they then returned peacefully to their home in Nazareth.

The king who wanted to put the newborn king to death?
King Herod. He killed all the baby boys in Bethlehem to be sure he killed Jesus but he didn't know that The Holy Family had fled to Egypt.In what is referred to as the "Massacre of the Innocents", King Herod (also known as Herod the Great or Herod I), decreed that all young male children in the vicinity of Bethlehem be killed, which would have included Jesus if Mary and Joseph had not fled to Egypt.
Where did Jesus escape from King Herod?
There are two, quite different gospel stories of the birth of Jesus. In Luke's Gospel, Joseph and Mary came from Nazareth to Bethlehem to take part in a census. Jesus was born in Bethlehem and, a few days later, the family travelled to Jerusalem for the Temple ritual, without any apparent concern regarding King Herod. They then returned peacefully to Nazareth. At no time in this account, was Jesus ever in any danger from Herod. In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem appears to be the home town of Joseph and Mary. After the birth of Jesus, King Herod sought to have him killed, so the young family fled from Bethlehem to safety in Egypt. After the death of Herod, they began to return to Bethlehem, but being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to a new home in Nazareth.
Does the nativity appear in the Gospel of Matthew?
AnswerA version of the nativity appears in Matthew's Gospel in Chapter 1.An angel announces the divine conception of Jesus. Bethlehem appears to be the home town of Jesus' parents, Joseph and Mary. After Jesus was born, Magi came following a star from the east to see the new Messiah, whom they found in a house in Bethlehem. But Herod was afraid that Jesus would become king in his place. (Since Herod died as an old man in 4 BCE, this would have to have been many years earlier, before Herod knew that his time was almost up.) Jesus and his family fled immediately to Egypt, while Herod had all the infants killed, in order to remove a supposed rival. After Herod died, the family returned, but then decided to migrate to Nazareth in Galilee.
Why was Jesus brought to Herod Antipas the tetrarch of Galilee when he has no Jurisdiction in the province of Judaea where Jesus' trial was held?
This can have no definitive answer, although it is a good and intriguing question. What is indicated in the Biblical record of events is that Herod had for long time wanted to see Jesus so that Herod might see a miracle performed. Also, when Jesus first came into prominence Herod remarked that it was John the Baptist returned from the dead - possibly he felt some kind of guilt for what he had done, and so wanted to see Jesus for himself and so satisfy himself it was not John. In any case, it was certainly a concession Pilate made in letting Jesus go to Herod, since he certainly had no power or authority over the matter. Perhaps Pilate hoped Herod could settle the matter - although even this would be unlikely. It seems likely Pilate knew of Herod's strong desire to see Jesus, since it is recorded that they became friends from this day, when they had been enemies before. So it seems this was a favor that Herod appreciated, even if he was able to offer no substantial help. Archaeology has also confirmed the practice of transferring a prisoner to the 'relevant jurisdiction', although, as Jesus traveled around He would have done 'crimes' according to the Jews, in a number of jurisdictions.
