Lukas 9:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:9

And Herod said, John have I beheaded
That is, he had ordered him to be beheaded, and which was accordingly done by the executioner; of which he had full proof, since the head was brought him in a charger, and which he delivered to the daughter of Herodias:

but who is this of whom I hear such things?
such, wonderful things, such amazing miracles, as were done by Christ: he seems to have reasoned after this manner with himself, surely this cannot be John, for I have beheaded him! and yet who should it be? and whereas some affirmed, that it was John that was risen from the dead, he began to fear that it was he;

and he desired to see him:
that he might be satisfied whether it was he or not; for he had had personal knowledge of John, and converse with him, and therefore, upon sight of him, could tell whether it was he that was risen from the dead, or not; but we do not find Herod had a sight of Christ, until he was sent by Pilate to him at Jerusalem; see ( Luke 23:7 Luke 23:8 ) .

Lukas 9:9 In-Context

7 En Herodes, de viervorst, hoorde al de dingen, die van Hem geschiedden; en was twijfelmoedig, omdat van sommigen gezegd werd, dat Johannes van de doden was opgestaan;

8 En van sommigen, dat Elias verschenen was; en van anderen, dat een profeet van de ouden was opgestaan.

9 En Herodes zeide: Johannes heb ik onthoofd; wie is nu Deze, van Welken ik zulke dingen hoor? En hij zocht Hem te zien.

10 En de apostelen, wedergekeerd zijnde, verhaalden Hem al wat zij gedaan hadden. En Hij nam hen mede en vertrok alleen in een woeste plaats der stad, genaamd Bethsaida.

11 En de scharen, dat verstaande, volgden Hem; en Hij ontving ze, en sprak tot hen van het Koninkrijk Gods; en die genezing van node hadden, maakte Hij gezond.
