DLC for Oct. 18

Deuteronomy 17:1–20, how idolatry was to be prosecuted, how judging was to be done, and how even the king himself, wax to be under the law of God. Matthew 14:1–21, John’s death shows the danger to Jesus is growing, and Jesus, hearing of John death, withdraws from the public view. And yet he continues to have compassion on the people who seek him out and heal them in great numbers.
