1 AT THAT time Herod the governor heard the reports about Jesus,
2 And he said to his attendants, This is John the Baptist; He has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers of performing miracles are at work in Him.
3 For Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison [to stow him out of the way] on account and for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife,
4 For John had said to him, It is not lawful or right for you to have her. [Lev. 18:16; 20:21.]
5 Although he wished to have him put to death, he was afraid of the people, for they regarded John as a prophet.
