This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
28. ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς. We may compare Fulvia with the head of Cicero. Stories about the discovery of the Baptist’s head and its removal to Constantinople (Sozomen H. E. vii. 21) and its subsequent removal to Amiens, may be disregarded (Dict. of Chr. Ant. I. p. 883). The history of the head ends here; but it was necessary to record the burial of the body in order to complete the explanation of the fear of Antipas, οὗτος ἠγέρθη (Mar 6:16).
