because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him.

Mark 6:20

Faithy Explains

Herod Antipas, a tetrarch of Galilee, found himself in a paradoxical situation with John the Baptist. Despite being a ruler with significant power, Herod was both intrigued and intimidated by John. He recognized John's righteousness and holiness, qualities that set John apart and made Herod wary of taking any action against him. This recognition led Herod to protect John, even though John's teachings often left him puzzled. Herod's interest in listening to John suggests that the truth and moral integrity embodied by John had a compelling nature, drawing even those in power to pause and consider their own actions and beliefs.

This dynamic illustrates a broader spiritual truth: the power of a righteous life can influence and challenge others, even those who may not fully understand or agree with the message. It also reflects the inner conflict that can arise when one's conscience is pricked by the truth, leading to a mix of fear, respect, and curiosity. Herod's actions show that genuine holiness and integrity are powerful forces that can provoke thought and reflection, encouraging individuals to confront their own values and decisions.
