Today's Reading - March 31, 2010

Deuteronomy 16:1-17:20
Luke 9:7-27
Psalm 72:1-20
Proverbs 12:8-9


Question of the day: In reference to Luke 9:9, did Herod Antipas ever see Jesus?

Yes, Luke 23:8-11 tells us that after Jesus was arrested, Pilate sent him to Herod Antipas when he heard that Jesus was from Galilee. Herod wanted Jesus to do some miracles for him, and asked him many questions, but Jesus would say nothing. Herod could have freed Jesus, but instead sent him back to Pilate, who ended up crucifying him.

Herod Antipas ruled Galilee for 42 years, and after running afoul of the Roman Emporer Caligula, was sent off to exile in France.
