A:King Herod does not play a role in Luke's Gospel. It is only in Matthew's Gospel that he jealously seeks to have Jesus killed, finally ordering the death of the infants under two years old. In Luke's Gospel, it must be Quirinius who wields real power, because he required Joseph to go to Bethlehem for the census.
