Mark

Mark 6:14–16

¹⁴Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying,^d “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” ¹⁵Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

¹⁶But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”
