Murder, Mark wrote - 29 August.
Death of John the Baptist, AD 30.
Similarities are to be noted between Mark's account of the imprisonment and death of John the Baptist (Mark 6:17-29), and that of the Passion of Jesus. (Mark 15 :1-47)
Herod and Pilate, each in turn, acknowledges the holiness of life of one over whom they unjustly exercises the power of condemnation and death.
The hatred of Herodias toward John parallels that of the Jewish leaders toward Jesus.
After the deaths of John and Jesus, well-disposed persons request the bodies of the victims of Herod and of Pilate in turn, to give them respectful burial.
