# 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.
