14And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.`
15Others said -- `It is Elijah,` and others said -- `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.`
16And Herod having heard, said -- `He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.`
17For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,
18for John said to Herod -- `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;`
19and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,
20for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.
