Mark 6: 17-29

(Mark 6: 17-29) For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.  For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

 

The tetrarch is a king who is delegated to rule over a part of the territory ruled by a king of a country. In the Bible, the tetrarch includes Herod the King of Galilee, Herod Philip II of the Doo-Rae and Dragonith, and Lusania the King of Abilene.

 Herod Antiba (Antipas) was the king who executed John the Baptist. He was the second son of Herod the Great, and when Herod died, he became the tetrarch of Galilee and Berea. 4-A.D. He ruled parts of the country until 39 years. In the Bible, the tetrarch appears as Herod and King Herod. He divorced his first wife and married again to Herodias, the wife of his half brother Philip (Herod II) and his nephew.

Because of this, when he was rebuked by John the Baptist, he put John the Baptist in prison. Herod couldn't kill him because he was afraid of John the Baptist, but at the birthday party he heard the request of "The Daughter of Herodias" and cut John's neck. Herod was told to be a fox by Jesus, which was a direct demonstration of Herod's cunning and cunning for threats and deception.

Herodias is the granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of Aristobulos, the son of Herod the Great. She married her uncle Herod Philip, and after the divorce she remarried her brother Herod Andiva. Angered by John the Baptist, who accused him of being wrong about this marriage, she persuaded Herod Andiba to put John in prison, and through her daughter Salome, Herod's promise to fulfill any wishes was received. Eventually Herodia cut Salome's wishes and cut John's neck, and his disciples took the body and buried it.

The people of the Herods were rulers of the land where Jesus lived, from "B.C. 48 to A.D. 100, the time of the father of Herod the Great." Many of the Herods were related to the people of the New Testament, and Herodias were from the evil family associated with many of the Herods.

John the Baptist became a sacrifice for martyrdom, but he was the one who prepared the way of Jesus, ended the Old Testament times, opened the door of the New Testament, left great achievements as a pioneer of Jesus, and even became a precursor of Jesus even to death. In this regard, Jesus said that there was no one greater than this that the woman had. John the Baptist ended his life in prison with a neck cut.

This was the end of the "God's purpose for John the Baptist" life. It appeared as the last prophet of the Old Testament. John's disciples took the body, buried it, and went and told Jesus. There were disciples who followed him until John the Baptist died. The Messiah has come, but they have not yet belonged to the Messiah. John's time and Jesus' time overlapped for some time. John himself or his disciples have not yet become Jesus' disciples. However, since John's death, they have also become disciples of Jesus. The Old Testament era has passed, and the New Testament era has come.

Mark 2: 1-12절

(Mark 2: 1-12 절 ) And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the...

Mark 1: 21-28

(Mark 1: 21-28) And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.   And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.   And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.   And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.   And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.   And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. Jesus made disciples of Peter and And...

Mark 1:1-8

(Mark 1:1-8) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Jud æ a, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.   The Gospel of Mark is the first written Gospel. Mark is not one of Jesus' twelve discipl...
