INTRO If you are new here, welcome to the podcast! Our goal is to walk you through Scripture verse by verse, so we will read a section of the passage and then try to break it down for you. I am going to be reading from the (ESV) English Standard Version for those who want to follow along! This is the Word of God and is profitable for you: The Death of John the Baptist14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” 15 But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” 16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” Before I go any further, I think I need to shine a light on John the Baptist here before we go any further! Matthew 11:11 says, “[A]mong those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist.” This was from the mouth of Jesus. Before he was born he had the Holy Spirit. This is Jesus’ cousin too. If you all get a chance, I would love for you to check out more on John the Baptist, but today for the sake of time, let’s continue on.17 For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife because he had married her. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.” … and you thought your family was messed up… let’s break this down. Herodias was the daughter of Herod’s half-brother Aristobulus. This makes her Herod’s niece, okay? Not only was she Herod’s niece, but she was married to his other half-brother, Herod-Philip. So, she was also his sister-in-law. He still convinced her to leave his brother and become his wide. Obviously this was not okay, and John the Baptizer had something to say about it. (see Leviticus 18:16; 20:21).19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death.

If you are new here, welcome to the podcast! Our goal is to walk you through Scripture verse by verse, so we will read a section of the passage and then try to break it down for you. I am going to be reading from the (ESV) English Standard Version for those who want to follow along!

This is the Word of God and is profitable for you:

The Death of John the Baptist

14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” 15 But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” 16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”

Before I go any further, I think I need to shine a light on John the Baptist here before we go any further! Matthew 11:11 says, “[A]mong those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist.” This was from the mouth of Jesus. Before he was born he had the Holy Spirit. This is Jesus’ cousin too. If you all get a chance, I would love for you to check out more on John the Baptist, but today for the sake of time, let’s continue on.

17 For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife because he had married her. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”

… and you thought your family was messed up… let’s break this down. Herodias was the daughter of Herod’s half-brother Aristobulus. This makes her Herod’s niece, okay? Not only was she Herod’s niece, but she was married to his other half-brother, Herod-Philip. So, she was also his sister-in-law. He still convinced her to leave his brother and become his wide.

19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly.
