Episode notes

Matthew begins with this very tragic story in Matthew 14. The reason that John the Baptist gets himself into trouble is because Herod Antipas has married his brother's wife, Herod Phillips wife, Herodias. In Leviticus chapter 18 verse 16, it says, Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife. It is thy brother's nakedness or Leviticus 2021. And if a man shall take his brother's Wife, it is an unclean thing. He hath uncovered his brother's Nakedness. They shall be childless. This explains that Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John and bound him in prison for Herodias's sake.

Just how many Herods threatened the life of Jesus? Dr. Jason Combs explores the many Herods, their effect on Jesus and especially on the life, and death of John the Baptist and the call to sacrifice for the Savior.
