‏ Matthew 14:1

 Herod the tetrarch ( Hηρωιδης τετρααρχης ). Herod Antipas ruler of Galilee and Perea, one-fourth of the dominion of Herod the Great.

 The report concerning Jesus ( την ακουην Ιησου ). See on 4:24. Cognate accusative, heard the hearing (rumour), objective genitive. It is rather surprising that he had not heard of Jesus before.
