Matthew 14:1-3

New Living Translation

The Death of John the Baptist

14 When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee,^[a] heard about Jesus, ² he said to his advisers, “This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead! That is why he can do such miracles.”

³ For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John as a favor to his wife Herodias (the former wife of Herod’s brother Philip).
