Strong's Lexicon Héródianoi: Herodians Original Word: Ἡρῳδιανοί Word Origin: Derived from Ἡρῴδης (Hērōdēs), referring to Herod. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Herodians, as they were a group specific to the context of the New Testament period and the Herodian dynasty. Usage: The term "Herodians" refers to a political group or party in Judea during the time of Jesus, who were supporters of the Herodian dynasty. They are mentioned in the New Testament as being aligned with the Pharisees in opposition to Jesus, despite their differing political and religious views. Cultural and Historical Background: The Herodians were likely a political faction that supported the Herodian rulers, who were appointed by the Romans to govern parts of Judea. The Herodian dynasty, starting with Herod the Great, was known for its Roman allegiance and Hellenistic influences, which often put them at odds with the more religiously conservative Jewish groups like the Pharisees. Despite these differences, the Herodians and Pharisees found common cause in their opposition to Jesus, whom they saw as a threat to their respective positions and influence.
