- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Herod the tetrarch - See this subject explained at large, Matthew 14:1; (note), etc., and Mark 6:21, Mark 6:23; (note).Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19See the notes at Matthew 14:1-13. “Added this above all.” To all his former crimes he added this; not implying that this was the “worst” of his acts, but that this was “one” of his deeds, of like character as the others. The event here mentioned did not take place until some time after this, but it is mentioned here to show what was the end of John‘s preaching, or to “fill out” the account concerning him.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-20Verses 15-20 John the Baptist disowned being himself the Christ, but confirmed the people in their expectations of the long-promised Messiah. He could only exhort them to repent, and assure them of forgiveness upon repentance; but he could not work repentance in them, nor confer remission on them. Thus highly does it become us to speak of Christ, and thus humbly of ourselves. John can do no more than baptize with water, in token that they ought to purify…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 19-20Herod Antipas was the ruler of Galilee. He divorced his first wife and married Herodias. Herodias was the wife of his half-brother Herod Philip. When John publicly criticized Herod for this sin, Herod imprisoned and later executed him (compare 9:9; Mark 6:16–29). Herod’s execution of John is also recorded by the Jewish historian Josephus (Antiquities 18.5.2).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 19-2019-20. But Herod, &c.--See on Mr 6:14, &c. (Also see on Mt 3:12.) and for all the evils which Herod had done--important fact here only mentioned, showing how thoroughgoing was the fidelity of the Baptist to his royal hearer, and how strong must have been the workings of conscience in that slave of passion when, notwithstanding such plainness, he "did many things and heard John gladly" (Mr 6:20, 26).Read the comment
