Tertullian

Against Marcion Book IV (220)

Again, that it was no new god which recommended by Christ, was dearly attested by the opinion of all men, because some maintained to Herod that Jesus was the Christ; others, that He was John; some, that He was Elias; and others, that He was one of the old prophetess. Now, whosoever of all these He might have been, He certainly was not raised up for the purpose of announcing another god after His resurrection.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

The great perplexity it created in the mind of Herod: When he had heard of all that was done by Christ, his guilty conscience flew in his face, and he was ready to conclude with them that John was risen from the dead.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Herod the tetrarch - See on Mat 2:1 (note); Mat 14:1 (note). By him - This is omitted by BCDL, two others, the Coptic, Sahidic, Armenian, and four of the Itala. It is probable that Luke might have written, Herod, hearing of all the things that were done, etc.; but Matthew says particularly, that it was the fame of Jesus of which he heard: Mat 14:1. He was perplexed; - He was greatly perplexed διηπορει· from δια emphat. and απορεω, I am in perplexity.
