Mat 14:12. Τὸ σῶμα, his body) without the head.-ἐλθόντες, κ.τ.λ., coming, etc.) From that circumstance the death of John was advantageous to his disciples.[667]-ἀπήγγειλαν, announced) It is not said with what manifestation of feeling Jesus received this announcement; doubtless He received it as it befitted the Lord.
[667] That is, the death of their master was the means of leading them to Jesus-the greatest of all blessings.-ED.
