Greek phrasing in Luke 2:2 translated as "first enrollment" can mean "before" Quirinius was governor, implying an earlier census. So no contradiction at all. Next.

They ruled at the same time. Herod was a client King over Judea who answered to Augustus (the 1st emperor of Rome)

herod was the king of Judea (the region where Jesus was born), Caesar Augustus was the Caesar (Emperor) of the Roman empire, completely separate positions

That’s why its imperative to do your research before posting. They ruled at the same time. Herod was the local king and Caesar was the the Roman emperor.

King Herod ruled under Caesar Augustus in Rome, no issue here

usercak08061978 :
King Herod the Great and Caesar Augustus ruled concurrently because Herod was a Roman client king. Augustus was the supreme Emperor of Rome, but he allowed loyal local monarchs like Herod to govern regional territories—such as Judea—maintaining authority as long as they paid tribute and secured Rome's interests.

Michael James :
you realize King Herod ruled Judea and Ceasr Augustus was the Roman Emperor? they lived at the same time and Augustus was Hetods boss? Herod would pay financial tribute to Augustus to remain autonomous from the Roman Empire.

Both are correct. Herod was the king of the Judean nation, but the nation was under the governance of Rome. Herod was only as powerful as Caesar Augustus allowed him to be and would have been removed from power if he went against Roman rule.

panzer :
The accounts in Matthew 2:1-12 and Luke 2:1-7 can be reconciled by recognizing that they describe two entirely different time periods surrounding the birth of Jesus. While Luke records the actual night of the birth in a humble stable, Matthew describes a visit by the Magi that took place months—or even up to two years—later in a house. They are complementary narratives written by two authors focusing on different details to serve distinct theological purposes.

Dr. Willie M Carpenter,CMI❌ :
They answer different questions:
Matthew: Who was ruling Judea when Jesus was born? King Herod.
Luke: What event caused Joseph and Mary to travel to Bethlehem? A census ordered by Caesar Augustus.
These can both be true at the same time.

Caesar Augustus reigned as the first Roman Emperor (27 BC – 14 AD) during the majority of King Herod the Great's rule over Judea (37 BC – 4 BC).
