King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying,“ John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

King Herod heard about this. Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying,“ John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That is why he has the power to do miracles.”

King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some said,“ John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Herod Antipas, the king, soon heard about Jesus, because everyone was talking about him. Some were saying,“ This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead. That is why he can do such miracles.”

King Herod heard about it, because Jesus’s name had become well known. Some said,“ John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that’s why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

And King Herod heard about it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying,“ John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him.”

Now King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known. And he said,“ John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

And king Herod heard thereof; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

King Herod heard of this, because Jesus’ name had become well known. Some said,“ John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

And king Herod heard[ of him];( for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said,“ John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

Now Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that was happening, and he was thoroughly perplexed, because some people were saying that John had been raised from the dead,while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.Herod said,“ I had John beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus.

Now King Herod heard this, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some were saying,“ John the baptizer has been raised from the dead, and because of this, miraculous powers are at work in him.”Others said,“ He is Elijah.” Others said,“ He is a prophet, like one of the prophets from the past.”But when Herod heard this, he said,“ John, whom I beheaded, has been raised!”For Herod himself had sent men, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her.For John had repeatedly told Herod,“ It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him. But she could notbecause Herod stood in awe of John and protected him, since he knew that John was a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard him, he was thoroughly baffled, and yet he liked to listen to John.But a suitable day came, when Herod gave a banquet on his birthday for his court officials, military commanders, and leaders of Galilee.When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl,“ Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.”He swore to her,“ Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”So she went out and said to her mother,“ What should I ask for?” Her mother said,“ The head of John the baptizer.”Immediately she hurried back to the king and made her request:“ I want the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”Although it grieved the king deeply, he did not want to reject her request because of his oath and his guests.So the king sent an executioner at once to bring John’s head, and he went and beheaded John in prison.He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.When John’s disciples heard this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

But as the man went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places. Still they kept coming to him from everywhere.

For from you the message of the Lord has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread, so that we do not need to say anything.

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

When he learned that he was from Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who also happened to be in Jerusalem at that time.When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him perform some miraculous sign.So Herod questioned him at considerable length; Jesus gave him no answer.The chief priests and the experts in the law were there, vehemently accusing him.Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, dressing him in elegant clothes, Herod sent him back to Pilate.That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other, for prior to this they had been enemies.

They said,“ John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others, one of the prophets.”

In Jerusalem he made war machines carefully designed to shoot arrows and large stones from the towers and corners of the walls. He became very famous, for he received tremendous support and became powerful.

At that time, some Pharisees came up and said to Jesus,“ Get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you.”

The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah and his fame reached the border of Egypt, for he grew in power.

So the news about him spread quickly throughout all the region around Galilee.

But they went out and spread the news about him throughout that entire region.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard reports about Jesus,and he said to his servants,“ This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead! And because of this, miraculous powers are at work in him.”For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,because John had repeatedly told him,“ It is not lawful for you to have her.”Although Herod wanted to kill John, he feared the crowd because they accepted John as a prophet.But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.Instructed by her mother, she said,“ Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.”Although it grieved the king, because of his oath and the dinner guests he commanded it to be given.So he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.Then John’s disciples came and took the body and buried it and went and told Jesus.
