Now King Herod The mention of "King Herod" refers to Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Perea, not a king in the full sense but a ruler under Roman authority. Herod Antipas was a son of Herod the Great, known for his role in the events leading to the execution of John the Baptist and later, the trial of Jesus. Historically, Herod Antipas is a figure of political intrigue and moral weakness, often swayed by public opinion and personal desires. His title as "king" here is somewhat ironic, as it reflects his ambition and the perception of his rule, despite his limited power. heard about this for Jesus’ name had become well known and people were saying 'John the Baptist has risen from the dead!' That is why miraculous powers are at work in him "But when the feast of Herod's birthday comes, And, through the window, smoke-besmeared, the lamps, Set in due order, wreaths of violets round, Pour out their oily fumes, and in the dish Of red-clay porcelain tail of tunny swims, And the white flagon bellies out with wine, Thou mov'st thy lips, yet speak'st not, and in fear Thou keep'st the Sabbath of the circumcised, And then there rise dark spectres of the dead, . . . Verse 14. - This Herod is called by St. Matthew (Matthew 14:1) "the tetrarch;" and so also by St. Luke (Luke 9:7); though it should be noticed that St. Matthew, in the same context, at Ver. 9, calls him "king." The word "tetrarch" properly means the sovereign or ruler of the fourth part of a territory. He is known as Herod Anti-pus, son of Herod the Great, who had appointed him "tetrarch" of Galilee and Peraea. Herod Antipas had married the daughter of Arctas, King of Arabia, but deserted her for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. John the Baptist is risen from the dead; that is, "is risen in the person of Jesus Christ." St. Luke. (Luke 9:7) says that at first Herod was "much perplexed (διηπόρει)" "about him. At length, however, as he heard more and more of the fame of Christ's miracles, he came to the conclusion that our Lord was none other than John the Baptist risen again. Such is the opinion of St. Chrysostom, St. Augustine, and others. At that time the views of Pythagoras respecting the transmigration of souls were generally current, and probably influenced the troubled mind of Herod. He had put to death an innocent and holy man; and it is a high testimony to the worth of the Baptist that, under the reproaches of a guilty conscience, Herod should have come to the conclusion that he had risen from the dead, thus probably giving the lie to his own opinions as a Sadducee; and terrified lest the Baptist should now avenge his own murder. "What a great thing," exclaims St. Chrysostom," is virtue! for Herod fears him, even though dead." It should not be forgotten that this is the same Herod who set Jesus at nought and mocked him, when Pilate sent him to him, in the hope of relieving himself of the terrible responsibility of condemning one whom he knew to be innocent.Parallel Commentaries ...
