Matthew 14:1
The Miracles Beyond and Upon the Sea of Galilee
SUMMARY OF MATTHEW 14: Herod's Opinion of Christ. The Death of John the
Baptist. Jesus Crosses the Sea. The Vast Multitude That Follows. The
Miracle of the Five Loaves and Two Fishes. The Multitude Wishing to
Make Jesus a King Is Dismissed. The Disciples Sent Upon the Sea
While Jesus Retires to Pray. The Storm on the Sea. Christ on the
Waters. The Failure of Peter's Faith.
Herod the tetrarch. Compare Mark 6:14-29 Lu 9:7-9. Herod
Antipas, one of the sons of "Herod the King". See PNT "Mt 2:1"
for information on the Herods. Called the "tetrarch", or ruler of a
fourth part, because he inherited one-fourth of the kingdom of his
father.
Heard of the fame of Jesus. Absent much of the time from Galilee
in campaigns against Areta, king of Arabia, he probably did not hear
much until his return home.
