, (To Salome who had danced in his honour) Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you. [...] Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom.
(To his courtiers, after hearing about Jesus' fame) This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.

Herod Antipas was the son of Herod the Great and inherited a quarter-share of his father's realm after the elder's death around 4 BC, ruling Galilee and Perea as a Roman client. He built Sepphoris and founded the city of Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee, naming it for the emperor who kept him in power. His divorce of Phasa'el, daughter of the Nabataean king Aretas IV, to marry Herodias - his half-brother's former wife - earned him the public condemnation of John the Baptist, whom Antipas had arrested and then executed at Machaerus. The affair also sparked a ruinous border war with Aretas that left Antipas weakened. When Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem, Pilate handed him to Antipas briefly, since Jesus had preached in his territory; Antipas returned him to Pilate's court. In 39 AD his nephew Agrippa I accused him of conspiracy against Emperor Caligula, and Antipas was exiled to Gaul with Herodias, where he died at an unknown date.
