Antipas » Ruled » Galilee » Slayed » John the baptist
In the fifteenth year of the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod governor of Galilee, while his brother Philip was governor of the territory of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was the governor of Abilene,
but Herod the governor, whom he condemned because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the wicked things Herod had done,
There were at Antioch in the church there a number of prophets and teachers??arnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the governor, and Saul.
Herod the governor heard of all that was happening, and he was perplexed because some people said that John had risen from the dead,
For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife,
King Herod heard of him, for his name was now well known, and people were saying that John the baptizer had risen from the dead, and that that was why he was endowed with these extraordinary powers.
And he warned them, saying, "Look out! Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!"
Just then some Pharisees came up and said to him, "Go! Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you!"
and learning that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he turned him over to Herod, for Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
And Herod and his guards made light of him and ridiculed him, and they put a gorgeous robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.
