MATTHEW—NOTE ON Matthew 14:3 For Herod had seized John. Verses Matthew 14:3 describe a past event. Herod Antipas loved Herodias, the wife of his half brother Herod Philip I (not the tetrarch Philip mentioned in Luke 3:1). Both were married at the time. Herodias divorced Herod Philip I and Herod Antipas divorced his wife, and they married. John the Baptist had publicly condemned Herod Antipas for his actions (It is not lawful for you to have her).
