Luke 9:7-9

The Government Takes Notice of the Church Work

7: Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; 8: And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 9: And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

The Acted Parable Interpreted

• The Civil Government (Herod) has previously put to death some of the ministers (John the Baptist) of the Church. Now, the government takes notice of the Medical Missionary work being done by the Church members and attempts to find them (desired to see).
