Mark 6:14-16
The Voice
14 Jesus had become so well known that King Herod received reports of all that Jesus was doing. Some were saying[a] that John the Baptist[b] had been raised from the dead and that these mighty works were the fruits of his resurrection.
Others (disagreeing): 15 No, this Jesus is Elijah, returned to work on the earth.
And still others said He was another of the prophets.
Herod (to himself): 16 No, it is John, the prophet I beheaded, risen from the dead.
For the blood of John was on his hands.
