St. John the Baptist was Our Lord's Cousin(as I am writing this, it happens to be the Feast Day of his Birth). While he was still in his mother's womb, Our Lady visited his mother, & upon sensing his Lord in the Blessed Womb of Mary, leapt for joy. His father was struck dumb when St. Gabriel told him that his wife would conceive a son, as punishment for doubting him, & could only speak again after his wife gave birth. St. John was raised in the wilderness by the Essenes. By the time he was 27, he was Chosen By God to be a Prophet & to prepare the way for the Messiah. When the Messiah Came to him for baptism, he was shocked, & felt unworthy to do so, but Christ Insisted. So John baptized Him, & the Holy Spirit Came & St. John heard from the Father, that Christ Is His Son. After Christ's Public Ministry took place, St. John denounced Herod Antipas' & Herodias' adultery, & was imprisoned for it. Although Antipas was satisfied with just imprisoning John, Herodias still felt threatened by him, & wanted him executed, but Antipas refused to do. So when it was his birthday, Herodias got her daughter to dance for Antipas, & Antipas promised her a reward: Salome(Herodias' daughter) requested the head of John the Baptist, & Antipas reluctantly granted her request.
Antipas comes from two words: anti = against and papa = pope. Basically, Antipas is a symbolic name representing all those who were martyred during that time for their protesting against the papacy. There is no significant record of any specific person during that time by the name of Antipas.
AnswerHerod Antipas was the son of King Herod the Great. Herod the Great's father was an Idumean and his mother was a Nabataean. So, Antipas could best be described as a Palestinian of mixed ethnic origins.
There are two references regarding the name Antipas. I do not know if they are two different people or one and the same. King Herod Antipas (short for Antipatros) was a first century AD ruler of Galilee and Perea. Saint Antipas is referred to in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 2:13) as the "faithful martyr" of Pergamon.
The stepfather of Salome was Herod Antipas, who was a ruler in the region of Galilee and Perea during the time of Jesus. Salome is most famously known for requesting the head of John the Baptist as a reward for dancing for Herod Antipas.
AnswerThe three brothers whose inheritances divided the kingdom of Herod the Great, were Antipas, Archelaus and Philip. Philip was the brother whose wife, Herodias, divorced him and married Antipas in 34 CE.
