Luke 9:7-9 - Herod Perplexed About Jesus
7 Now when King Herod, the tetrarch [i.e., governor of that district] heard about all that was happening [concerning Jesus], he was perplexed because some people were saying that John [the Immerser] had risen from the dead; 8 some [were saying] that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared; and [still] others [were saying] that one of the [other] prophets of old had risen again [from the dead]. 9 Then Herod said, "I had John decapitated, so who is this person about whom I hear such things?" And he became eager to see Jesus.
