Who was killed in Jerusalem by Herod?

Why was John the Baptist not killed with the rest of the infant boys at Herod's orders?
A:The story of the 'Slaughter of the Innocents' in Matthew's Gospel only requred Herod to have the babies born in or near Bethlehem killed, whereas Luke's Gospel says that John the Baptist was born in Jerusalem. More importantly, scholars can find no historical evidence that Herod ever had the babies killed. They say this was a literary creation intended to draw parallels between Jesus and Moses, and which was needed to explain the flight to Egypt and, years later, to Nazareth where Jesus began his ministry.
When and for what reason was John beheaded?
John was imprisoned for criticizing the immoral marriage of Herod to Herodias, his sister-in-law. When Herodias and her daughter, Salome, plotted together, they convinced Herod to kill John, although he was reluctant. The famous story is that Salome danced for the king and his friends, and Herod said she could have whatever she wanted, so she asked for John's head on a platter. Herod gave it to her.The Jewish historian Josephus tells us what probably did happen. He says that Herod Antipas had the Baptist arrested and killed in the castle of Macherus, east of the Dead Sea, because he disapproved of Antipas' marriage to his own brother's wife, who divorced her husband in order to marry Herod Antipas. The wedding took place in 34 CE and the execution of John would have been in 35 or 36 CE. 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."
Why did people like Herod and Pilate want to kill John the Baptist and Jesus?
Herod, like his father, was an evil man, jealous of his position and viewed Jesus as the prophisied of King and perceived Jesus therefore as a threat. Though professing to be religious Herod had closer ties with Godless Rome than his subjects. Pilate did not want to kill Jesus, in fact he gave the Jews an option to not so do. The Jews rejected that option, preferring a seditioness, murderer and thief be release to them and Jesus be crucified. Pilate stated he found no fault with Jesus but to please the Jews he released Jesus to them to be crucified.
Why was Herod reluctant to kill John the Baptist?
A:Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee and son of King Herod the Great, was afraid that the Jews would rise up in insurrection because of John the Baptist's public criticism of Herod's marriage to Herodias. Herodias was the former wife of Antipas' own brother and John the Baptist began to criticise this as immoral. The wedding took place in 34 CE. John was executed in 35 or 36 CE on the orders of Herod Antipas, out of fear that he was stirring the Jews up for rebellion. 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."
Where in bible is the martyredom of John the Baptist?
John Baptizer's death is discussed in the Gospel accounts of Matthew and Mark. John was beheaded after a request was made of King Herod from Salome during his birthday celebration. Salome was the daughter Herodias who had a grudge against John because he denounced her relationship with Herod as immoral. (Matthew 14:1-12) At that particular time Herod, the district ruler, heard the report about Jesus 2 and said to his servants: "This is John the Baptist. He was raised up from the dead, and this is why the powerful works are operating in him." 3 For Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him away in prison on account of He·ro′di·as the wife of Philip his brother. 4 For John had been saying to him: "It is not lawful for you to be having her." 5 However, although he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they took him for a prophet. 6 But when Herod's birthday was being celebrated the daughter of He·ro′di·as danced at it and pleased Herod so much 7 that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Then she, under her mother's coaching, said: "Give me here upon a platter the head of John the Baptist." 9 Grieved though he was, the king out of regard for his oaths and for those reclining with him commanded it to be given; 10 and he sent and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the maiden, and she brought it to her mother. 12 Finally his disciples came up and removed the corpse and buried him and came and reported to Jesus. (Mark 6:21-29) But a convenient day came along when Herod spread an evening meal on his birthday for his top-ranking men and the military commanders and the foremost ones of Gal′i·lee. 22 And the daughter of this very He·ro′di·as came in and danced and pleased Herod and those reclining with him. The king said to the maiden: "Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you." 23 Yes, he swore to her: "Whatever you ask me for, I will give it to you, up to half my kingdom." 24 And she went out and said to her mother: "What should I ask for?" She said: "The head of John the baptizer." 25 Immediately she went in with haste to the king and made her request, saying: "I want you to give me right away on a platter the head of John the Baptist." 26 Although he became deeply grieved, yet the king did not want to disregard her, in view of the oaths and those reclining at the table. 27 So the king immediately dispatched a body guardsman and commanded him to bring his head. And he went off and beheaded him in the prison 28 and brought his head on a platter, and he gave it to the maiden, and the maiden gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard of it they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a memorial tomb.
Why did king herod kill the first born male in Bethlehem?
herod did it so that no one could overthrow him in his throne
Why was John the Baptist put in jail by herod?
According to the record in Scriptures, Herod Antipas was unsure of what was happening when Jesus had begun His healing ministry and was sending forth His disciples to minister. At first He superstitiously thought it was John the Baptist, "risen from the dead," for he had murdered him.In Mark 6:17,18, we have the most complete record of the reason for the imprisonment: "For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."One day Herodias' daughter (often named Salome), danced before Herod on his birthday in front of his entourage of leaders. Herod was so pleased, that he promised Salome "Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom." (v. 23). Because his illegal wife hated John, she conspired with her daughter to ask for his head. Therefore, although "the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison," (vv. 26,27).When others were speculating who Jesus was to Herod, the Scripture says: " But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead." (v. 16). This was after he had murdered John in prison. John had begun his ministry "in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar (27 A.D., as in Luke 3:1). According to Matthew 4:12, John had been imprisoned just before Jesus began His own public ministry, calling His disciples. Christ had trained His disciples, and sometime before He fed the five thousand, he began ministering around Galilee, when Herod Antipas noticed, thinking it was John, risen from the dead.Therefore, John had been dead for some short time, as recorded in: Matthew 14:1; Mark 6:14; Luke 9:7. All the early church Fathers agree to 2 B.C. as the birth of Christ, or the 41st year of Caesar Augustus reign. Jesus started His ministry in His 30th year, according to Luke 3:23. Therefore, His crucifixion was in 32 A.D. John the Baptist was imprisoned circa 29/30 A.D. He was undoubtedly beheaded within a year, about the time that Christ went up to Galilee.AnswerMatthew 14:3-5 (The Message)Herod had arrested John, put him in chains, and sent him to prison to placate Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. John had provoked Herod by naming his relationship with Herodias "adultery." Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid because so many people revered John as a prophet of God.John the Baptist told Herod he couldn't have a relationship with Herodias, because Herodias was Herod's brother's wife, and that would be adultery. That's why Herod put John in jail. He wanted to kill him, but he was afraid to, because people thought of him as a prophet of God. However, because of Herodias's trick, Herod ends up having to behead John later. (verses 6-12)Another Answer:John the Baptist was imprisoned as a result of his own actions. He was willing to sacrifice his freedom and then his life because of what he believed.John had publicly criticised Herod Antipas for his marriage to Herodias, the former wife of Antipas' own brother, which John said was immoral. The wedding took place in 34 CE and John was executed in 35 or early 36 CE on the orders of Herod Antipas, out of fear that he was stirring the Jews up for rebellion. The relevant text from Book 18 of Antiquities of the Jews by the first-century Jewish historian, Josephus: "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."
