But Herod, &c.--See on Mar 6:14, &c. (Also see on Mat 3:12.)
and for all the evils which Herod had done--important fact here only mentioned, showing how thoroughgoing was the fidelity of the Baptist to his royal hearer, and how strong must have been the workings of conscience in that slave of passion when, notwithstanding such plainness, he "did many things and heard John gladly" (Mar 6:20, Mar 6:26). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| See the notes at Mat 14:1-13. "Added this above all." To all his former crimes he added this; not implying that this was the "worst" of his acts, but that this was "one" of his deeds, of like character as the others. The event here mentioned did not take place until some time after this, but it is mentioned here to show what was the end of John's preaching, or to "fill out" the account concerning him. |

Herod
See margin reference, (See Scofield) - (Mat 14:1). |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Being reproved (ἐλεγχόμενος)
See on Jam 2:9.
Evils (πονηρῶν)
Of several words in the New Testament denoting evil, this emphasizes evil in its activity. Hence Satan is ὁ πονηρός, the evil one. An evil eye (Mar 7:22) is a mischief-working eye. See on Mar 7:22.
Added (προσέθηκεν)
Used by Luke twice as often as in all the rest of the New Testament. A very common medical word, used of the application of remedies to the body, as our apply, administer. So Hippocrates, "apply wet sponges to the head;" and Galen, "apply a decoction of acorns," etc.
In prison
See on Mat 14:3. |

12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
