Mat 14:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. Herod was afraid. He thought Jesus might be John the Baptist back from the dead, and that this was why Jesus could do miracles. This shows Herod’s guilty conscience about what he had done to John (Matthew 14:2 ).
