Description

Killer of John the Baptist

Herod Antipas ruled Galilee and Perea during the ministry of Jesus and John the Baptist.

This map shows the territories governed by Antipas, alongside neighboring regions ruled by Herod Philip and the Roman province of Judea. It also identifies important places connected with the Gospel accounts, including Nazareth, Capernaum, Jerusalem, Jericho, and Machaerus.

Machaerus, the fortress east of the Dead Sea, is traditionally identified as the place where John the Baptist was imprisoned and executed. The map helps Bible readers see how the political territories of the Herodian family fit into the geography of the Gospels.
