This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison - after, it would seem, more than twelve months’ imprisonment. Blessed martyr! Dark and cheerless was the end reserved for thee: but now thou hast thy Master’s benediction, “Blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in Me” (Mat 11:6), and hast found the life thou gavest away (Mat 10:39). But where are they in whose skirts is found thy blood?
