John the Baptist Beheaded
14 aNow 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 bthese powers are at work in him.”
15 aOthers said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is the Prophet, bor like one of the prophets.”
16 aBut when Herod heard, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!”
17 For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her.
18 Because John had said to Herod, a“It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
