14. And King Herod heard it, because his name had become known. And they were saying, “John, the one who baptizes, has been raised from the dead, and because of this these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15. But others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and others were saying, “He is a prophet like one of the prophets.”
16. But when Herod heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded—this one has been raised!”
17. For Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
18. For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not permitted for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19. So Herodias held a grudge against him and was wanting to kill him, and was not able to do so.
