[Alberta's Child]

Herod knew where Jesus was born, and roughly when He was born. Beyond that he didn't know Him well enough to distinguish Him from any other small child born in Bethlehem.

Keep in mind that at the time this "temptation" took place there is no record in the Gospels of any public miracle by Jesus that would have given anyone an indication who He was.

**Keep in mind that at the time this “temptation” took place there is no record in the Gospels of any public miracle by Jesus that would have given anyone an indication who He was.**

Keep in mind that there is no record in the Gospels of Jesus calling himself the Son of God. Yet Satan personally dropped in on this man out in the wilderness, and dared him to prove that he was the Son of God.
