Herod Antipas



Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.- Luk_23:8-9.



Of all the Herods known to history the one with whom the reader of the New Testament is best acquainted is Herod Antipas. He was one of the sons of Herod the Great. On the death of his father he became ruler of Galilee and Peræa, his title being tetrarch, although by courtesy he was sometimes called king. It is this Herod's spiritual history that we are now to follow. It is comprehended under two titles: (1) Herod and John; (2) Herod and Jesus.
