Mark (2008)
Robert H. Stein

However, if the banquet was in Tiberias (see 6:21-26), located on the western side of the Sea of Galilee, and John was martyred in Machaerus, located on the eastern side of the Dead Sea, the sending of an executioner from Tiberias to Machaerus and his subsequent return would have taken days.
Yet there is no necessity from the text itself to see the beheading as occurring at the time of the banquet. No mention is made of the guests or the banquet in 6:28. The collapsing of the time between the command (6:27a) and the carrying-out of the command (6:27b-28) may be a literary device used to heighten the telling of a story. There would be no reason why Mark, if there were a time gap between the command and its fulfillment, would have written, “And after x days, the executioner arrived at Machaerus and beheaded John. Then y days later, having arrived back at Tiberias, he showed the head to Herod, placed it on a platter, and gave it to the girl.”

Josephus and the New Testament
Hoehner has an excellent discussion of the supposed
discrepancies between the accounts of Josephus and the
New Testament concerning John the Baptist. He shows that
the two reports are not opposed to one another but should be
viewed as complementary to each other.111 Both Josephus
and the New Testament agree with each other in many
aspects. Both speak of the same personalities, Antipas and
John. Both tell of Antipas’s dislike of John and that he finally
had John killed. Josephus, however, adds two supplemental
details. Antipas feared not only the moral message of John, as
given in the Gospels, but he also feared the political results
of his successful preaching—that is, “some form of sedition”
(Ant. 18.118). This fear may have arisen because John spoke
of a coming kingdom (Matt. 3: Iff.). The second bit of
information added by Josephus is the place where John was
killed. According to his account, John “was brought in chains
