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 one-fourth of the Roman Empire and so he was also called "Herod the tetrarch."
  • 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.
