Mark 6:15

Herod Kills John The Baptist

¹⁴ Now King Herod heard about this [i.e., what Jesus was doing] because His name had become well known. He said, "John the Immerser has risen from the dead and it is his powers that are at work in Jesus." ¹⁵ But others said, "He is [the prophet] Elijah" [while] others said, "He is a prophet like one of the prophets [of old]." ¹⁶ But when King Herod heard [about Jesus], he said, "John, whom I [had] decapitated, has risen."
