Herod Heard Of Jesus

Antipas was one of many heirs of Herod the Great Morally and civilly, he had fallen from his state. His kingdom, a collapsed castle, he couldn't reinstate. Sinning with brother's wife, shamelessness had become his fate. Like raindrops on a bison, did John's censures sadden him? Like venom, the wrath of Herodias filled her to brim. The extant of Baptist, she thought, like a twig she should trim Didn't she, as a queen, have the right to amuse her whim? By the fame of Jesus as though life-threat, Herod baffled. His human and animal instincts between them battled. Curiousness and qualm, like flatware, within him rattled Has John resurrected? Physique and Psyche fell fear-grappled Does the sun fear the darkness? Jesus fulfilled his mission. To build his realm of love, did he need Herod's permission?
