Herod Antipas (the same man who had previously ordered the death of John the Baptist and, according to some Pharisees, [7] had plotted to have Jesus killed as well, but not to be confused with Herod Antipas's father, Herod the Great who was alleged to have ordered the Massacre of the innocents) had wanted to see Jesus for a long time, hoping to ...

Herod I [2] [a] or Herod the Great (c. 72 – c. 4 BCE) was a Roman Jewish client king of the Herodian kingdom of Judea. [3] [4] [5] He is known for his colossal building projects throughout Judea.

Herod's work on the Temple is generally dated from 20/19 BCE until 12/11 or 10 BCE.

[31] Religious worship and temple rituals continued during the construction process. [32]
Contrary to the Gospel of Matthew, which places Jesus's birth in the time of Herod I, [6] the Gospel of Luke correlates it with the census: [a] In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
It was only after they were executed (c. 7 BCE), and Herod's oldest son Antipater was convicted of trying to poison his father (5 BCE), that the now elderly Herod fell back on his youngest son Antipas, revising his will to make him heir.
