Herod said, “I cut off John’s head, so who is this man I hear such things about?” And Herod kept trying to see Jesus.
Also, Herod found nothing wrong with him; he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing for which he should die.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had heard about Jesus and had wanted to meet him for a long time. He was hoping to see Jesus work a miracle.
