Jesus was born before the death of Herod the Great ( Matthew 2:1 , Luke 1:5 ) , therefore not later than four years before the Christian era. According to Luke 2:1-7 Jesus was born residents held at the time of registration , when Quirinius became guardian of Syria . Quirinius was not possible ruled Syria before he was appointed consul in the year 12 before CE.

But he became the guardian of Syria in the year 6 or 7 AD , which was then entered into a registration population of Judea that caused the rebellion of Judas the Galilean.Case This causes some people think that enrollment in Luke 1:2 , held when Jesus was born to be confused with registration more then this , which is more commonly known .

This conclusion is based on two allegations is doubted by many, namely, that Jesus was born on day Sunday and on December 25 . By recognizing that the word which is translated " Star " in Matthew 2 that refers only to one star , then the followers of the theory that it is a star in the East combination of Saturn , Jupiter , has been divided into two streams : one maintain that the star is Saturn and the other is that Jupiter star. But it appeared unlikely that merging of these two planets will have significant meaning for astrologers astrologers - east of the birth of a king.
