Episode notes

Josephus is a Jewish historian writing around 90 AD. He talks about Herod killing John the Baptist and he tells us a little more about Herodias as well. Josephus has a slightly different explanation for John the Baptist death. Extremely jealous over the success of her brother, Herodias prodded her husband Herod to embark for Rome and petition for the kingship also. They get banished to Gaul to a place in modern day France.

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.
