Episode notes

Gospel authors often drop hints in there to help their readers see that everything Jesus is doing is a continuation if not a fulfillment of all that was said and promised in the Old Testament. We actually have an account of what the community who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Essenes, what they imagined the messianic banquet would be like. And it's really interesting to compare how Mark and Matthew describe this miraculous feeding of the 5,000 people before the Messianic age.

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.
