Catatan episode
Earlier in Matthew we learned that John the Baptist had been imprisoned, and in today’s episode we learn the specifics surrounding that event. Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great, reigns as tetrarch over Galilee, which in short, is similar to a duke in medieval times. Sadly, John’s imprisonment ends in execution, an unjust end that foreshadows the even more audacious crucifixion of Christ. We’ll also hear Matthew’s account of Jesus feeding the 5,000, the account of Christ walking on water far from shore on the Sea of Galilee, and more accounts of Jesus healing the sick, even those who merely touch the end of his robe.
