Mark 6:15-18

Living Bible

¹⁵ Others thought Jesus was Elijah the ancient prophet, now returned to life again; still others claimed he was a new prophet like the great ones of the past.

¹⁶ “No,” Herod said, “it is John, the man I beheaded. He has come back from the dead.”

^17-18 For Herod had sent soldiers to arrest and imprison John because he kept saying it was wrong for the king to marry Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
