Herod said, “I cut off John’s head. So who is this man I hear these things about?” Herod continued trying to see Jesus.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He had heard all about him and had wanted to meet him for a long time. Herod wanted to see a miracle, so he was hoping that Jesus would do one.
Herod didn’t find him guilty either. He sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing bad enough for the death penalty.
