Wesley's Notes for Mark 6:18

6:16 But Herod hearing thereof - Of their various judgments concerning him, still said, It is John.

6:20 And preserved him - Against all the malice and contrivances of Herodias. And when he heard him - Probably sending for him, at times, during his imprisonment, which continued a year and a half. He heard him gladly - Delusive joy! While Herodias lay in his bosom.
