“Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.”
Herod added this to them all: he locked John up in prison — the imprisonment ends John's ministry section in Luke. Added this to them all communicates Herod's persistence in evil — the imprisonment of the prophet is the latest in a series of transgressions. The torch passes from the imprisoned forerunner to the one he announced.
