HERODIANS . The name of a political party among the Jews, which derived its name from the support it gave to the dynasty of Herod. Perhaps they hoped for the restoration of the national kingdom under one of the sons of Herod. The Herodians appear in the Gospels on two occasions ( Mark 3:6 , Matthew 22:16 || Mark 12:13 ) as making common cause with the Pharisees against Jesus.
