Herod Antipas

Herod Antipas

calls Herodias' former husband Philip; either the author is confusing him with Philip the tetrarch, or both Herods shared the name Philip (Bruce 10 n. 16; Schürer 344 and n. 19).] On learning of this, Aretas' daughter travelled to the fortress of Machaerus, from where Nabatean forces escorted her to her father. Relations between Antipas and Aretas soured and in time preparations began for war. [Josephus, "Antiquities" [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=J.+AJ+18.111 18.111–113] .]

Antipas faced more immediate problems in his own tetrarchy when John the Baptist – in AD 28/29 according to the Gospel of Luke [; .]

Among those baptized by John was Jesus of Nazareth, who began his own ministry in Galilee – causing Antipas, according to Matthew and Mark, to fear that the Baptist had been raised from the dead. [.] Luke alone among the Gospels states that a group of Pharisees warned Jesus that Antipas was plotting his death, whereupon Jesus denounced the tetrarch as a "fox" and declared that he, Jesus, would not fall victim to such a plot because "it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem". [; Bruce 17; Hoehner 89–90.] thus allowing him to avoid responsibility for Jesus' execution. [Hoehner 90.]

Some scholars believe that Jesus' trial by Herod Antipas is unhistorical. [Jensen 121.] Robin Lane Fox, for example, argues that the story was invented based on Psalm 2, in which "the kings of the earth" are described as opposing the Lord's "anointed", and also served to show that the authorities failed to find grounds for convicting Jesus. [). It has been conjectured that these were sources for early Christian knowledge of Antipas and his court. [; , , , .
