Herod said, “I had John's head cut off; but who is this man I hear these things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
Nor did Herod find him guilty, for he sent him back to us. There is nothing this man has done to deserve death.
Herod was very pleased when he saw Jesus, because he had heard about him and had been wanting to see him for a long time. He was hoping to see Jesus perform some miracle.
