God Bless, All.

:I think the coinage argument is a good basis to think that Herod died in 4 BC, especially when it is supported by 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 (ESV) 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." So the people who knew Jesus assumed that he was born in Galilee. The common folk of that time were generally born in the place that they grew up in. John seems to be saying that none of that matters. God can make Jesus the Son the Man whether or not he was born in Bethlehem or fulfills a popular prophesy.
