| − | :I thought the coinage argument that Herod died in 4 BC was a good one, especially given it agrees with several other lines of reasoning. Here is a full scholarly discussion: "[http://www.redatedkings.com/postings/Bernegger.pdf Affirmation of Herod's Death in 4 BC]." The Herod/Bethlehem nativity story is not in Mark, which is considered the most historical of the gospels. John 7:52 says 'They replied, “Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”' This is reference to Micah 5:2: "But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel." God can make Jesus the Son the Man whether or not he was born in Bethlehem or fulfills the prophesy of Micah, at least according to John.
