Reproving the Rich
Matthew 14:1-11
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,…


It is not uncommon for men to reprove the poor and the humble in society for their offences, but it is a rare virtue to charge crime, with unflinching fidelity, upon the higher classes. The poor are lectured on all hands, and the most contemptible clap-traps are adopted to catch their ear. But where are the Johns to lecture the rich and the royal, the Herods?

(D. Thomas, D. D.)
