When Jesus was born in Bethlehem; who was the King of Judea?

A. Herod Agrippa
B. Herod the Great
C. Pontius Pilate
D. Herod Antipas

Correct Answer:

Option B – Herod the Great

Explanation

Herod the Great was king of Judea when Jesus was born. Herod did not remain king for long. Within two years of Jesus’ birth he was dead. His son did not last long as king either, as he was dismissed as king by Rome, and replaced by Roman governors or “procurators.”
