1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus
2 and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and for this reason miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3 For Herod, after arresting John, bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip,
4 because John had been saying to him, “It is not permitted for you to have her.”
5 And although he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they looked upon him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday celebration took place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst of them and pleased Herod.
