Mark 6:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ King Herod soon heard about Jesus, for his miracles were talked about everywhere. The king thought Jesus was John the Baptist come back to life again. So the people were saying, “No wonder he can do such miracles.” 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.”
