When the daughter of Herodias came and danced The daughter of Herodias, known as Salome in historical texts, performed a dance that was likely provocative, given the context of a royal banquet. Herodias was married to Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Perea. This event took place in the context of a birthday celebration for Herod, a common occasion for feasting and entertainment in the Roman world. The dance was significant enough to captivate Herod and his guests, indicating it was more than a simple performance. This reflects the moral and cultural decadence of Herod's court, contrasting with the values of the Kingdom of God preached by Jesus. she pleased Herod and his guests and the king said to the girl “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” Persons / Places / Events 1. Herod AntipasThe ruler of Galilee and Perea, known for his moral weaknesses and political maneuvering. He is the son of Herod the Great. 2. Herodias The wife of Herod Antipas, previously married to his brother Philip. Her marriage to Herod was considered unlawful according to Jewish law. 3. Herodias' Daughter (Salome) Though not named in the text, historical sources identify her as Salome. Her dance pleased Herod and his guests, leading to a rash promise. 4. The Banquet A lavish event hosted by Herod, attended by high-ranking officials and military commanders, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. 5. The Guests Influential figures in Herod's court, whose presence added pressure to Herod's decision-making. Teaching Points The Dangers of Rash PromisesHerod's impulsive promise to Salome demonstrates the dangers of making commitments without considering the consequences. Believers should be cautious with their words and promises. The Influence of Peer Pressure Herod's decision was heavily influenced by the presence of his guests. This highlights the importance of standing firm in one's convictions, even when faced with societal or peer pressure. Moral Compromise Herod's actions reflect a pattern of moral compromise, prioritizing personal and political gain over righteousness. Christians are called to uphold God's standards, even when it is inconvenient. The Consequences of Sin The account illustrates how sin can escalate, leading to devastating outcomes. It serves as a reminder of the importance of repentance and seeking God's guidance.Verse 22. - The words should run thus: And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς τῆς Ἡρωδιάδος. The intention of the evangelist is to point out that it was Herodias's own daughter who danced, and not a mere professional dancing-girl. Josephus mentions that dancing-women were admitted to feasts by the Jews; and Xenophon testifies to the same custom amongst the Greeks. Parallel Commentaries ...
