The potential for evil in human nature is revealed in the story. The cast of characters, particularly Herod and Herodias act out of weakness and vengeful hatred. Through the detailed story of John’s death, Mark prepares his readers for Jesus’ death.

May we all rather than succumbing to our sinful nature, find within ourselves the God-given integrity and courage to seek the truth and to act on it. St. John the Baptist, pray for us.
