Who was Herod the Great?
Herod the Great was the king in Matthew's account of Jesus' early life. He felt threatened by news of a child called king of the Jews. His response endangered children and forced Jesus' family to flee.
Joseph took Mary and Jesus to Egypt after a warning. The story describes seeking safety from a ruler's violence, not a child needing to face danger bravely alone.
