Herod's Sorrow At Death of the Baptist
Matthew 14:1-11
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,…


As Andronicus, the Greek Emperor, that deep dissembler, would weep over those whom he had for no cause, caused to be executed, as if he had been the most sorrowful man alive; so this cunning murderer craftily hides his malice, and seeming sad in the face is glad at heart to be rid of the importunate Baptist, that he may sin uncontrolled.

(John Trapp.)
