==Luke 3:1==
In this particular instances, as weird as the word is to us today, each of the men identified including Herod Agrippa is τετρααρχοῦντος - tetrarch. A tetrarch was one who ruled over 1/4 of the empire and was subordinate only to the emperor. King gets used frequently incorrectly used to refer to Herod Agrippa in translating this term, but he was not a king and Judea was not a kingdom.

I am using the word governor instead of king, which isn't controversial when used for Pilate, who had exactly the same role as Herod Antipas - he was tetrarch of Judea. But perhaps there is a better word than both governor or king. [[User:Cambrian|Cambrian]] 22:25, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
