Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 14:1

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 14:1 · Douay-Rheims
“At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.”
On this verse:
“(ubi sup.) Luke’s words are, John have I beheaded: who is he of whom I hear such things? (Luke 9:9.) As Luke has thus represented Herod as in doubt, we must understand rather that he was afterwards convinced of that which was commonly said—or we must take what he here says to his servants as expressing a doubt—for they admit of either of these acceptations.”
