Matthew 14:2-14 and he said to his attendants, "This man must be John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why wonderful powers are working through him."

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ² and he said to his attendants, "This man must be John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why wonderful powers are working through him." ³ For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, ⁴ for John said to him, "It is not right for you to be living with her." ⁵ And while he wanted him killed, he was afraid of the people; for they considered him a prophet. ⁶ But when Herod's birthday came, Herodias' daughter danced before the company. And Herod was delighted with her, ⁷ and swore that he would give her anything she asked for. ⁸ But she, at her mother's instigation, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter!" ⁹ And the king was sorry, but because he had sworn to do it, and because of the guests who were present, he ordered it to be given to her. ¹⁰ And he sent and had John beheaded in the prison. ¹¹ And his head was brought back on a platter and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother. ¹² John's disciples came and took his body away, and buried him, and then they went and reported it to Jesus. ¹³ When Jesus heard it, he quietly retired by boat to a secluded place. And the crowds heard of it and followed him on foot from the towns. ¹⁴ So when he got out of the boat he found a great crowd gathered, and his heart was touched at the sight of them, and he cured those of them that were sick.
