Matthew 14:5
5Although Herod ▼▼Lit. he
wanted to kill him, he was afraid of the crowd, since they regarded John ▼▼Lit. him
as a prophet.Matt 21:26; Luke 20:6 Mark 6:20
20because Herod was afraid of John. He knew that John ▼▼Lit. he
was a righteous and holy man, and so he protected him. Whenever he listened to John, ▼▼Lit. him
he did much of what he said. ▼▼Lit. did many things; other mss. read he became very disturbed
In fact, he liked listening to him.Matt 14:5; 21:6 Luke 20:6
6But if we say, ‘From humans,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”Matt 14:5; 21:26; Luke 7:29
