Luke 9:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
A ruler hears about Jesus
7 People told the ruler, Herod, about all the things that were happening.[a] His mind was confused because people were saying lots of different things about Jesus. Some people were saying, ‘John the Baptist died but now he has become alive again.’ 8 Other people were saying, ‘It is Elijah that has come back.’ Some other people were saying, ‘This is one of God's prophets who lived a long time ago. Now he has become alive again.’[b]
9 Herod said, ‘I sent a soldier to cut off John's head.[c] So who is this man? I hear many things about him.’ After that, Herod was trying to meet Jesus.

New International Version
7 Now Herod(A) the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John(B) had been raised from the dead,(C) 8 others that Elijah had appeared,(D) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(E) 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.(F)
