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.”
19 Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not;
20 for Herod afeared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he1 did many things, and heard him gladly.
21 aThen an opportune day came when Herod bon his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
