Son of his Father: The Heir and Prince
John the Baptist indeed did not do any miracles. He only preached vehemently about the coming of the kingdom of God.I believe nail prints in the hands identify well enough.
I believe he may not have considered that any more preposterous than someone performing miracles. However there is no record of John the Baptist doing any miracles.
Herod only HEARD (wrongly) from people that ‘John the Baptist had been raise from the dead’… He, himself knew nothing about Jesus at that time so when ig was told to him that SOMEONE was preaching the SAME AS JOHN HAD, he could only THINK OF BELIEVING (hoping, actually, since he did not want to kill John in the first place - we all know the story of how he came to do it: He feared his wife more that God!!!)
