Mark 6:13-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.

14. King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”

15. But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16. But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”

17. For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her.
