Read in context

Matthew 14:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

4 because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5 Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
