If you had read the studies with a fair heart, it will become abvious that Quintilius ruled in various capacities over that region for about 20 years prior to him being formally assigned as potentate. In many of those capacities he was a coruler without much impediment. I see no significant compromise.

The point I was making is that Judea was not under his juridiction until 6 AD. Matthew claims Jesus was born (before 4 BC) while Herod the Great was still alive. Luke claims Mary was still pregnant in 6 AD. No matter how you look at it, the story doesn’t fit.
