Herod is curious about Jesus, sensing similarities between Jesus and John. Matthew inserts the story of John’s death as a means of pointing out the parallels between John and the fate that awaits Jesus. Both were thought of as prophets and yet arrested and executed on the whim of a very weak and corrupt leader.

I pray for the courage to be willing to tell the truth, to confront wrongdoing and to stand strong in my faith no matter the consequences.
