The picture at the top of this page for this 14th chapter contains the following caption Herod s Daughter Receives the Head of John the Baptist Matthew 14 3 12 Please change this to either Herodias s Daughter or Herod s Niece Herodias s daughter was not Herod the tetrarch s daughter Unless Herodias had committed adultery prior to that marrying his Herod s brother Philip s wife the entire reason John the Baptist was beheaded was because John told Herod it was not lawful for him Herod to have her Herodias Herod s brother Philip s wife Either way it is most accurate for the caption to read Herodias s daughter Thanks Also in reference to the Test Your Knowledge fo Matthew Chapter 14 question s answer choices you list demon as a possible answer The word demon is not listed anywhere in the King James Version of The Holy Bible I do not know it s origins but only devil is listed This is important because at least in one source that I have read the word demon is considered a mythical creature It is NOT found in the Holy Bible anywhere you can don word searches for it on this site or online elsewhere like the University of Michigan s King James Version of the Holy Bible s online site an older site but it still works great Either way devil is the term used in the Holy Bible lest people start to associate The Holy Bible s words with mythology a dangerous path Plus evil is in the word devil perfectly so it s a better word to use for that reason as well
