Matthew 14:1
King James Version
28 Jul 2026
“At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,”
ἐκεῖνος
That one, that very one. Ekeînos. Scripture uses this word to point with precision, as in "that day" or "that hour" which no one knows. When God points, pay attention to what he is singling out.

Herod
Expand ↓
Ἡρώδης
Heroic, kingly name. Hērṓdēs. Four rulers bore this name across the New Testament, each wielding power against God's purposes. A name meaning heroic is no guarantee of heroic deeds. Judge by fruit, not title.

τετράρχης
tetrarch
Expand ↓
τετράρχης
Tetrarch, regional ruler. Tetrarchēs. A tetrarch held only a fraction of a kingdom, yet John still named Herod's sin to his face. Partial power is no shield from the full weight of truth.
