Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Herodians, as they were a distinct group within the context of the New Testament period, specifically related to the Herodian dynasty and Roman political structures. However, their political nature and alignment with ruling powers can be conceptually linked to various Hebrew terms for rulers and political figures, though not directly corresponding in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary. Usage: The term Ἡρῳδιανοί is used in the New Testament to describe a group of people who were aligned with the Herodian rulers and their policies. They are mentioned in the context of their interactions with Jesus, often in opposition to Him. Context: The Herodians were a political faction in Judea during the time of Jesus, known for their support of the Herodian dynasty, which was established by Herod the Great. This group is mentioned in the New Testament in the context of their collaboration with the Pharisees to challenge Jesus. The Herodians are noted for their political motivations, as they sought to maintain the status quo under Roman rule, which was beneficial to the Herodian rulers. In the Gospel of Mark, the Herodians are first mentioned in Mark 3:6: "At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus." This indicates their early involvement in the opposition against Jesus, aligning with the Pharisees despite their differing religious views. Their collaboration is again highlighted in Mark 12:13: "Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words." Here, they attempt to trap Jesus with questions about paying taxes to Caesar, a matter that directly related to their political interests. The Herodians' presence in the Gospels underscores the complex socio-political landscape of Judea during the Roman occupation. Their alliance with the Pharisees, despite differing ideologies, illustrates the extent of their opposition to Jesus, who was seen as a threat to their political stability and influence.
