Jerome, on Matt 14:1
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Matt 14:1 · Douay-Rheims
“At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.”
On this verse:
“One of the Ecclesiastical interpreters asks what caused Herod to think that John was risen from the dead; as though we had to account for the errors of an alien, or as though the heresy of metempsychosis was at all supported by this place—a heresy which teaches that souls pass through various bodies after a long period of years—for the Lord was thirty years old when John was beheaded.”
