Contextual Overview

¹ Jesus called the twelve apostles together and gave them power and authority over all demons and the ability to heal sicknesses. ² He sent the apostles out to tell about God's kingdom and to heal the sick. ³ He said to them, "Take nothing for your trip, neither a walking stick, bag, bread, money, or extra clothes. ⁴ When you enter a house, stay there until it is time to leave. ⁵ If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off of your feet as you leave the town, as a warning to them." ⁶ So the apostles went out and traveled through all the towns, preaching the Good News and healing people everywhere. ⁷ Herod, the governor, heard about all the things that were happening and was confused, because some people said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead." ⁸ Others said, "Elijah has come to us." And still others said, "One of the prophets who lived long ago has risen from the dead." ⁹ Herod said, "I cut off John's head, so who is this man I hear such things about?" And Herod kept trying to see Jesus.

Tetrarch: A tetrarch, פופסבסקחע [Strong's G5076], from פופסבע [Strong's G5069], four, and בסקח [Strong's G746], 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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now Herod the tetrarch,.... Of Galilee, and who is called a king in Mark 6:14 as he is here in the Ethiopic version:

heard of all that was done by him; of all the miracles that were wrought by Christ, and his apostles; the fame of which were the more spread through the mission of the apostles, and the journey they took through all the towns and cities of Galilee, which were in Herod's jurisdiction; by which means he, and his court, came to the knowledge of them, the whole country, ringing with the account of the same:

and he was perplexed; anxious, and distressed, not knowing well what to think of Christ, and the different sentiments of men about him: be was afraid lest he should be John the Baptist risen from the dead, whom he had beheaded: he hesitated about it at first, though he afterwards was fully persuaded, in his own mind, that it was he, as some affirmed; and this gave him great uneasiness, and filled him with distress and horror:

because that it was said of some that John was risen from the dead; and he began to fear it was true, though willing to disbelieve it, at least to make a question of it, especially in public; though in private, to his own family and servants, he was free to tell his mind.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 14:1-2. Compare Mark 6:14-16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 9:7. Herod the tetrarch — See note on Matthew 2:1; Matthew 14:1.

By him — This is omitted by BCDL, two others, the Coptic, Sahidic, Armenian, and four of the Itala. It is probable that Luke might have written, Herod, hearing of all the things that were done, c. but Matthew says particularly, that it was the fame of Jesus of which he heard: Matthew 14:1.

He was perplexed; — He was greatly perplexed διηπορει. from δια emphat. and απορεω, I am in perplexity. It is a metaphor taken from a traveller, who in his journey meets with several paths, one only of which leads to the place whither he would go; and, not knowing which to take, he is distressed with perplexity and doubt. The verb comes from α, negative, and πορος, a way or passage. A guilty conscience is a continual pest: - Herod had murdered John, and he is terribly afraid, lest he should arise from the dead, and bring his deeds to light, and expose him to that punishment which he deserved. See Mark 6:16.
