Mark 6:14-16

New Testament for Everyone

The speculations of Herod

¹⁴ Jesus’ name became well known, and reached the ears of King Herod.

“It’s John the Baptist,” he said, “risen from the dead! That’s why these powers are at work in him.”

¹⁵ Other people said, “It’s Elijah!”

Others said, “He’s a prophet, like one of the old prophets.”

¹⁶ “No,” said Herod when he heard this. “It’s John. I cut off his head, and he’s been raised.”
