“And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.”
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some kind — Herod greatly pleased: the curiosity satisfaction of the one who said I tried to see him earlier (9:9). Hoped to see him perform a sign: the spectacle-seeking that has characterized the rejection of Jesus throughout the Gospel.
