2 “This is John the Baptist! ” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”
3 For Herod had arrested John, chained him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

5 Though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, since they regarded him as a prophet.
