11. Herod, questioned with him in many words; what those words were, are not expressed; only we have some conjectures from Luke 23.8. q. d. What! art thou he concerning whom my Father was so mocked of the Wise men? and for whose sake my Father slew all the Children that were in Bethlehem? I have heard thou hast changed water into Wine, and hast multiplied Loaves, whereon so many thousands fed; come, do something at my request, which elsewhere thou hast done without request of any; come satisfy my desire, work now but one Miracle before me, that I may be convinced of thy Divinity. I dare not deliver these words as certain truths, because of that silence that is in Scripture; only we read that he hoped to have seen some Miracle done by him. Herod could not abide to hear his Word, and to bear his yoke: but he was well content to see the works and miracles of Jesus Christ.
