GOSPEL PEARLS
One of the ancient prophets has arisen
He was greatly perplexed (Lk 9:7)
Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening,
and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying,
"John has been raised from the dead";
others were saying, "Elijah has appeared";
still others, "One of the ancient prophets has arisen."
But Herod said, "John I beheaded.
Who then is this about whom I hear such things?"
And he kept trying to see him.
(Lk 9:7-9)
