Mark 6:20
_ _ For Herod feared John — but, as Bengel notes, John feared not Herod.
_ _ knowing that he was a just man and an holy — Compare the case of Elijah with Ahab, after the murder of Naboth (1 Kings 21:20).
_ _ and observed him — rather, as in the Margin, “kept” or “saved him”; that is, from the wicked designs of Herodias, who had been watching for some pretext to get Herod entangled and committed to dispatch him.
_ _ and when he heard him, he did many things — many good things under the influence of the Baptist on his conscience.
_ _ and heard him gladly — a striking statement this, for which we are indebted to our graphic Evangelist alone, illustrating the working of contrary principles in the slaves of passion. But this only shows how far Herodias must have wrought upon him, as Jezebel upon Ahab, that he should at length agree to what his awakened conscience kept him long from executing. |

And preserved him — Against all the malice and contrivances of Herodias. And when he heard him — Probably sending for him, at times, during his imprisonment, which continued a year and a half. He heard him gladly — Delusive joy! While Herodias lay in his bosom. |
