<p>14:11&nbsp;<em>And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother-</em>&nbsp;The Greek for &ldquo;brought&rdquo; is used only four times in Matthew, twice in this verse, and three times in this chapter. The Lord uses the word of how He wished the loaves and fishes to be &ldquo;brought&rdquo; to Him for His Messianic banquet (Mt. 14:18). It may be that Herod&rsquo;s banquet is being set up in contrast to that of the Lord Jesus described later in the chapter.</p>
