What was Herod's reaction when he heard the news about Jesus birth?
Answer Details
Herod was troubled when he heard the news about Jesus' birth. According to the Bible, when Herod, the king of Judea, heard that a new king of the Jews had been born, he was alarmed and disturbed. He called together all the chief priests and teachers of the law and asked them where the Messiah was to be born. When they told him in Bethlehem, Herod secretly called for the wise men to come to him and find out the exact time the star had appeared, so that he could go and worship the child as well. However, his true intention was to find and kill the child, as he saw the birth of Jesus as a threat to his own power and rule.
