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.”

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.”

When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, heard about everything Jesus was doing, he was puzzled. Some were saying that John the Baptist had been raised from the dead.Others thought Jesus was Elijah or one of the other prophets risen from the dead.“ I beheaded John,” Herod said,“ so who is this man about whom I hear such stories?” And he kept trying to see 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.”Others said,“ He’s the prophet Elijah.” Still others said,“ He’s a prophet like the other great prophets of the past.”When Herod heard about Jesus, he said,“ John, the man I beheaded, has come back from the dead.”For Herod had sent soldiers to arrest and imprison John as a favor to Herodias. She had been his brother Philip’s wife, but Herod had married her.John had been telling Herod,“ It is against God’s law for you to marry your brother’s wife.”So Herodias bore a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But without Herod’s approval she was powerless,for Herod respected John; and knowing that he was a good and holy man, he protected him. Herod was greatly disturbed whenever he talked with John, but even so, he liked to listen to him.Herodias’s chance finally came on Herod’s birthday. He gave a party for his high government officials, army officers, and the leading citizens of Galilee.Then his daughter, also named Herodias, came in and performed a dance that greatly pleased Herod and his guests.“ Ask me for anything you like,” the king said to the girl,“ and I will give it to you.”He even vowed,“ I will give you whatever you ask, up to half my kingdom!”She went out and asked her mother,“ What should I ask for?” Her mother told her,“ Ask for the head of John the Baptist!”So the girl hurried back to the king and told him,“ I want the head of John the Baptist, right now, on a tray!”Then the king deeply regretted what he had said; but because of the vows he had made in front of his guests, he couldn’t refuse her.So he immediately sent an executioner to the prison to cut off John’s head and bring it to him. The soldier beheaded John in the prison,brought his head on a tray, and gave it to the girl, who took it to her mother.When John’s disciples heard what had happened, they came to get his body and buried it in a tomb.

But the man went and spread the word, proclaiming to everyone what had happened. As a result, large crowds soon surrounded Jesus, and he couldn’t publicly enter a town anywhere. He had to stay out in the secluded places, but people from everywhere kept coming to him.

And now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere, even beyond Macedonia and Achaia, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it,

It was now the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius, the Roman emperor. Pontius Pilate was governor over Judea; Herod Antipas was ruler over Galilee; his brother Philip was ruler over Iturea and Traconitis; Lysanias was ruler over Abilene.

When they said that he was, Pilate sent him to Herod Antipas, because Galilee was under Herod’s jurisdiction, and Herod happened to be in Jerusalem at the time.Herod was delighted at the opportunity to see Jesus, because he had heard about him and had been hoping for a long time to see him perform a miracle.He asked Jesus question after question, but Jesus refused to answer.Meanwhile, the leading priests and the teachers of religious law stood there shouting their accusations.Then Herod and his soldiers began mocking and ridiculing Jesus. Finally, they put a royal robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.( Herod and Pilate, who had been enemies before, became friends that day.)

“ Well,” they replied,“ some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other prophets.”

And he built structures on the walls of Jerusalem, designed by experts to protect those who shot arrows and hurled large stones from the towers and the corners of the wall. His fame spread far and wide, for the Lord gave him marvelous help, and he became very powerful.

At that time some Pharisees said to him,“ Get away from here if you want to live! Herod Antipas wants to kill you!”

The Meunites paid annual tribute to him, and his fame spread even to Egypt, for he had become very powerful.

The news about Jesus spread quickly throughout the entire region of Galilee.

But instead, they went out and spread his fame all over the region.

When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, heard about Jesus,he said to his advisers,“ This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead! That is why he can do such miracles.”For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John as a favor to his wife Herodias( the former wife of Herod’s brother Philip).John had been telling Herod,“ It is against God’s law for you to marry her.”Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of a riot, because all the people believed John was a prophet.But at a birthday party for Herod, Herodias’s daughter performed a dance that greatly pleased him,so he promised with a vow to give her anything she wanted.At her mother’s urging, the girl said,“ I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray!”Then the king regretted what he had said; but because of the vow he had made in front of his guests, he issued the necessary orders.So John was beheaded in the prison,and his head was brought on a tray and given to the girl, who took it to her mother.Later, John’s disciples came for his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus what had happened.
