Matthew 14:1-4 ▼

1 When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, heard about Jesus,

2 he said to his advisers, “This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead! That is why he can do such miracles.”

3 For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John as a favor to his wife Herodias (the former wife of Herod’s brother Philip).

4 John had been telling Herod, “It is against God’s law for you to marry her.”
