Herod Antipas ruled during the time of Jesus' ministry and was known for his role in the execution of John the Baptist. The "this" refers to the works and miracles of Jesus, which had become widely known. Herod's hearing of Jesus' activities indicates the extent of Jesus' influence and the spread of His reputation throughout the region.for Jesus’ name had become well known The fame of Jesus had spread due to His teachings, miracles, and the growing number of followers. This widespread recognition is significant in the context of first-century Judea, where news traveled primarily by word of mouth. Jesus' name becoming well known fulfills the prophetic anticipation of a Messiah who would draw attention and provoke both awe and controversy.and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! The belief that John the Baptist had risen from the dead reflects the people's understanding of resurrection and their recognition of John's prophetic role. John was a significant religious figure, and his execution by Herod had left a profound impact. The idea of resurrection was not foreign to Jewish thought, as seen in the Pharisees' beliefs and Old Testament accounts like Elijah and Elisha's miracles.That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” The attribution of miraculous powers to a resurrected John the Baptist indicates the people's attempt to rationalize Jesus' extraordinary abilities. This reflects a common theme in the Gospels where Jesus' identity and the source of His power are frequently misunderstood or misattributed. The miracles of Jesus are central to His ministry, serving as signs of His divine authority and fulfillment of messianic prophecies, such as those found in <a href="/isaiah/35-5.htm">Isaiah 35:5-6</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/k/king_herod.htm">King Herod</a> This refers to Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Perea.

In addition an interesting illustration of what is stated as to Herod's belief may be given from the Roman poet Persius. He is describing in one of his satires (v. 180-188) the effect of superstitious fear in marring all the pleasures of the pride of luxurious pomp, and this is the illustration which he chooses:--"But when the feast of Herod's birthday comes,And, through the window, smoke-besmeared, the lamps,Set in due order, wreaths of violets round,Pour out their oily fumes, and in the dishOf red-clay porcelain tail of tunny swims,And the white flagon bellies out with wine,Thou mov'st thy lips, yet speak'st not, and in fearThou keep'st the Sabbath of the circumcised,And then there rise dark spectres of the dead, . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. - This Herod is called by St. Matthew (<a href="/matthew/14-1.htm">Matthew 14:1</a>) "the tetrarch;" and so also by St. Luke (<a href="/luke/9-7.htm">Luke 9:7</a>); though it should be noticed that St. Matthew, in the same context, at Ver. 9, calls him "king." The word "tetrarch" properly means the sovereign or ruler of the fourth part of a territory. He is known as Herod Anti-pus, son of Herod the Great, who had appointed him "tetrarch" of Galilee and Peraea. Herod Antipas had married the daughter of Arctas, King of Arabia, but deserted her for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. John the Baptist is risen from the dead; that is, "is risen in the person of Jesus Christ." St. Luke. (<a href="/luke/9-7.htm">Luke 9:7</a>) says that at first Herod was "much perplexed (διηπόρει)" "about him. At length, however, as he heard more and more of the fame of Christ's miracles, he came to the conclusion that our Lord was none other than John the Baptist risen again. Such is the opinion of St. Chrysostom, St. Augustine, and others. At that time the views of Pythagoras respecting the transmigration of souls were generally current, and probably influenced the troubled mind of Herod. He had put to death an innocent and holy man; and it is a high testimony to the worth of the Baptist that, under the reproaches of a guilty conscience, Herod should have come to the conclusion that he had risen from the dead, thus probably giving the lie to his own opinions as a Sadducee; and terrified lest the Baptist should now avenge his own murder. "What a great thing," exclaims St. Chrysostom," is virtue! for Herod fears him, even though dead." It should not be forgotten that this is the same Herod who set Jesus at nought and mocked him, when Pilate sent him to him, in the hope of relieving himself of the terrible responsibility of condemning one whom he knew to be innocent. <a href="/commentaries/mark/6-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Now Καὶ (Kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely.
