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 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.

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.”

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 ruler of Galilee, heard about everything that was going on. He was bewildered, because some were saying that John the Baptist had been raised from the dead.Others were saying that Elijah had appeared. Still others were saying that a prophet of long ago had come back to life.But Herod said,“ I had John’s head cut off. So who is it that I hear such things about?” And he tried to see Jesus.

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.”Others said,“ He is Elijah.” Still others claimed,“ He is a prophet. He is like one of the prophets of long ago.”But when Herod heard this, he said,“ I had John’s head cut off. And now he has been raised from the dead!”In fact, it was Herod himself who had given orders to arrest John. He had him tied up and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias. She was the wife of Herod’s brother Philip. But now Herod was married to her.John had been saying to Herod,“ It is against the Law for you to be married to your brother’s wife.”Herodias couldn’t forgive John for saying that. She wanted to kill him. But she could not,because Herod was afraid of John. So he kept John safe. Herod knew John was a holy man who did what was right. When Herod heard him, he was very puzzled. But he liked to listen to John.Finally the right time came. Herod gave a banquet on his birthday. He invited his high officials and military leaders. He also invited the most important men in Galilee.Then the daughter of Herodias came in and danced. She pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl,“ Ask me for anything you want. I’ll give it to you.”And he gave her his promise. He said to her,“ Anything you ask for I will give you. I’ll give you up to half my kingdom.”She went out and said to her mother,“ What should I ask for?”“ The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.At once the girl hurried to ask the king. She said,“ I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a big plate right now.”The king was very upset. But he thought about his promise and his dinner guests. So he did not want to say no to the girl.He sent a man right away to bring John’s head. The man went to the prison and cut off John’s head.He brought it back on a big plate. He gave it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.John’s disciples heard about this. So they came and took his body. Then they placed it in a tomb.

But the man went out and started talking right away. He spread the news to everyone. So Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. He stayed outside in lonely places. But people still came to him from everywhere.

The Lord’s message rang out from you. That was true not only in Macedonia and Achaia. Your faith in God has also become known everywhere. So we don’t have to say anything about it.

Tiberius Caesar had been ruling for 15 years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was the ruler of Galilee. His brother Philip was the ruler of Iturea and Traconitis. Lysanias was ruler of Abilene.

He learned that Jesus was from Herod’s area of authority. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod. At that time Herod was also in Jerusalem.When Herod saw Jesus, he was very pleased. He had been wanting to see Jesus for a long time. He had heard much about him. He hoped to see Jesus perform a sign of some kind.Herod asked him many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there. With loud shouts they brought charges against him.Herod and his soldiers laughed at him and made fun of him. They dressed him in a beautiful robe. Then they sent him back to Pilate.That day Herod and Pilate became friends. Before this time they had been enemies.

They replied,“ Some say John the Baptist. Others say Elijah. Still others say one of the prophets.”

In Jerusalem he invented machines to be used on the towers and on the corners of city walls. These machines were used by men who shot arrows from the walls. The machines were also used by men to throw large stones from the walls. Uzziah became famous everywhere. God greatly helped him until he became powerful.

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus. They said to him,“ Leave this place. Go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”

The Ammonites brought to Uzziah the gifts he required of them. He became famous all the way to the border of Egypt. That’s because he had become very powerful.

News about Jesus spread quickly all over Galilee.

But they went out and spread the news. They talked about him all over that area.

At that time Herod, the ruler of Galilee and Perea, heard reports about Jesus.He said to his attendants,“ This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead! That is why he has the power to do miracles.”Herod had arrested John. He had tied him up and put him in prison because of Herodias. She was the wife of Herod’s brother Philip.John had been saying to Herod,“ It is against the Law for you to have her as your wife.”Herod wanted to kill John. But he was afraid of the people, because they thought John was a prophet.On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for Herod and his guests. She pleased Herod very much.So he promised to give her anything she asked for.Her mother told her what to say. So the girl said to Herod,“ Give me the head of John the Baptist on a big plate.”The king was very upset. But he thought of his promise and his dinner guests. So he told one of his men to give her what she asked for.Herod had John’s head cut off in the prison.His head was brought in on a big plate and given to the girl. She then carried it to her mother.John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
