Introduction

1	Christ sends his apostles to work miracles, and to preach.
7	Herod desires to see Christ.
10	The apostles return.
12	Christ feeds five thousand;
18	enquires what opinion the world had of him; foretells his passion;
23	proposes to all the pattern of his patience.
28	The transfiguration.
37	He heals the lunatic;
43	again forewarns his disciples of his passion;
46	commends humility;
51	bids them to shew mildness towards all, without desire of revenge.
57	Divers would follow him, but upon conditions.

Verse 7
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

Herod: Job 18:11,12; Psalms 73:19; Matthew 14:1-12; Mark 6:14-28
Tetrarch: A tetrarch, [tetrarches (tetraa/rxhv)] from [tetradion (tetra/dion)] four, and [arche (a¹rxh/)] government, properly signifies a prince, or ruler over a quarter of any region; and had its origin from Galatia, which was governed by four princes. In the New Testament, however, it denotes a prince, or king, who reigns over the fourth part of a former kingdom. By Herod's will his kingdom was thus divided among his sons: Archelaus had one-half, consisting of Idumea, Judea, and Samaria; Herod Antipas, one-fourth, consisting of Galilee and Perea; and Philip the remaining fourth, consisting of Batanea, Trachonitis, and Auranitis.
