The Herodians were a Jewish political group in the time of Jesus. They supported the rule of Herod’s family, which governed parts of Israel under Roman authority. They appear in the Gospels as people who opposed Jesus and worked with the Pharisees to trap Him.
The Bible mentions the Herodians in connection with questions about taxes, authority, and loyalty to Rome. In Mark 3:6, the Pharisees and Herodians began plotting against Jesus after He healed on the Sabbath. In Matthew 22:16 and Mark 12:13, they joined others in asking Jesus whether it was lawful to pay taxes to Caesar.
Their role in the Bible shows how different groups could unite against Jesus when His authority challenged their interests. The Herodians remind us that Jesus was rejected by both religious leaders and political supporters of worldly power.
The Extra Study below goes deeper into the Herodians, why they appear alongside the Pharisees, how Jesus answered their trap about Caesar, and what this teaches us about faith, loyalty, and following the Lord today.
