Alrighty, then

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philips's wife. For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.-Matthew 14:1-12***Sometime after Herod Antipas the tetrarch sent John the Baptist to prison and after Herod commanded the executioner to chop off John's head, Herod heard of the miracles being performed throughout Galilee. Herod wanted to meet Jesus, who was performing the miracles and had chosen and sent 12 disciples and apostles to perform miracles. However, it was not until after Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, was betrayed, arrested, taken to Annas, and taken to Caiaphas the high priest, and was spat upon, blindfolded, hit, mocked, questioned, taken to Pontius Pilate, flogged, and mockingly dressed, that Herod Antipas the tetrarch spoke to Jesus.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-13:52
