Herod Tries to See Jesus

(Matthew 14:1–12; Mark 6:14–29)

7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was being done by Him,[fn] he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from [the] dead, 8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this [man] I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see [Jesus].
