How old was Christ when King Herod died?

Answer:

Answer



The gospels say that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod, who died in April 4 BCE. It seems an improbable coincidence if Jesus was born only shortly before the death of Herod, and Matthew implies that the birth must have occurred when Herod was still young enough to be concerned about a challenger for his throne. This would suggest that Jesus was no longer an infant when King Herod died.
