14And 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.
15But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, [It is] a prophet, [even] as one of the prophets.
16But Herod, when he heard [thereof], said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.
17For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip`s wife; for he had married her.
18For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother`s wife.
19And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;
20for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.
