The Dead Prophet Yet Alive
Matthew 14:1-11
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,…


The prophet's voice is not silenced by the executioner's hand, but sounds on in the guilty, haunted soul. John troubles Herod more now than when he was alive. The prisoner does not stay down in the dungeon any more, but rooms with Herod, sits spectral at the Tetrarch's feasts, makes festival doleful as funeral, wakes him in the night, and keeps saying unpleasant things on the inner side of his ear-drum.

(W. V. Kelley.)
