Matthew 14:12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

And his disciples came and took up the body Which it seems had been thrown over the prison walls, without burial, probably by order of Herodias. And buried it Laid it, says Mark, doubtless with great reverence and due lamentation, in a tomb, belonging to some of them who were willing to pay this last act of duty to their master's memory. And went and told Jesus What had happened; and, remembering the repeated testimony which John had borne to him, probably continued their attendance upon him.
