Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 6:14

(14) That John the Baptist was risen from the dead.—See Notes on Matthew 14:1-2.

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 6:1-56

Herod and Herodias [An Analysis] Mark 6:0 (1) Christian doctrine applicable to all classes of men; (2) Christian doctrine calculated to excite the pro foundest surprise; (3) Christian doctrine always conveying the impression of unique power; (4) Christian doctrine showing the insignificance of the personality of its teachers. Even Christ himself, according to the flesh, seemed poor and inadequate when viewed in the light of the wondrous revelations which he made to the world. The questions put... read more
