Herod, Herod Antipas

Facts:

During most of Jesus’ lifetime, Herod Antipas was the ruler of the part of the Roman Empire that included Galilee province.

Like his father Herod the Great, Antipas was sometimes referred to as “King Herod” even though he was not really a king.
Herod Antipas ruled about one-fourth of the provinces of Israel, so he was also called “Herod the tetrarch.” “Tetrarch” was a title for a person who ruled one-fourth of a country.
Antipas is the “Herod” who gave the order for John the Baptist to be killed by beheading.
It was also Herod Antipas who questioned Jesus before his crucifixion.
The other Herods in the New Testament were Antipas’ son (Agrippa) and grandson (Agrippa 2) who ruled during the time of the apostles.
