Exegesis
The direct object is expressed by the accusative phrase tēn akoēn Iēsou {τὴν ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ | tēn akoḗn Iēsoû}, literally “the report of Jesus,” where the genitive Iēsou functions as a subjective genitive, indicating that the report concerns Him and His activity. In translation, this genitive is best rendered with “about” or as “reputation” to convey that it is Jesus’ growing fame that has reached Herod. The English reconstructions preserve the temporal framing, maintain the historical title “tetrarch,” and render the object phrase in natural English while keeping the focus on Herod’s hearing of Jesus’ renown.
