Mark 6:14 Cross References - WNT

¹⁴ King Herod heard of all this (for the name of Jesus had become widely known), and he kept saying, "John the Baptizer has come back to life, and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him."

³¹ But they went out and published His fame in all that district.

¹ About that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, ² and he said to his courtiers, "This is John the Baptist: he has come back to life--and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him." ³ For Herod had arrested John, and had put him in chains, and imprisoned him, for the sake of Herodias his brother Philip's wife, ⁴ because John had persistently said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." ⁵ And he would have liked to put him to death, but was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a Prophet. ⁶ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before all the company, and so pleased Herod ⁷ that with an oath he promised to give her whatever she asked. ⁸ So she, instigated by her mother, said, "Give me here on a dish the head of John the Baptist." ⁹ The king was deeply vexed, yet because of his repeated oath and of the guests at his table he ordered it to be given her, ¹⁰ and he sent and beheaded John in the prison. ¹¹ The head was brought on a dish and given to the young girl, and she took it to her mother. ¹² Then John's disciples went and removed the body and buried it, and came and informed Jesus.

¹⁴ King Herod heard of all this (for the name of Jesus had become widely known), and he kept saying, "John the Baptizer has come back to life, and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him." ¹⁵ Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said, "He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets." ¹⁶ But when Herod heard of Him, he said, "The John, whom I beheaded, has come back to life." ¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and had had John arrested and had kept him in prison in chains, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her. ¹⁸ For John had repeatedly told Herod, "You have no right to be living with your brother's wife." ¹⁹ Therefore Herodias hated him and wished to take his life, but could not; ²⁰ for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and he protected him. After listening to him he was in great perplexity, and yet he found a pleasure in listening. ²¹ At length Herodias found her opportunity. Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to the nobles of his court and to the tribunes and the principal people in Galilee, ²² at which Herodias's own daughter came in and danced, and so charmed Herod and his guests that he said to her, "Ask me for anything you please, and I will give it to you." ²³ He even swore to her, "Whatever you ask me for I will give you, up to half my kingdom." ²⁴ She at once went out and said to her mother: "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptizer," she replied. ²⁵ The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. "My desire is," she said, "that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist." ²⁶ Then the King, though intensely sorry, yet for the sake of his oaths, and of his guests, would not break faith with her. ²⁷ He at once sent a soldier of his guard with orders to bring John's head. So he went and beheaded him in the prison, ²⁸ and brought his head on a dish and gave it to the young girl, who gave it to her mother. ²⁹ When John's disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

²⁸ "John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets."

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,

⁷ Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life, ⁸ by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life. ⁹ And Herod said, "John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?" And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.

³¹ Just at that time there came some Pharisees who warned Him, saying, "Leave this place and continue your journey; Herod means to kill you."

⁷ And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time. ⁸ To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed by Him. ⁹ So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply. ¹⁰ Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him. ¹¹ Then, laughing to scorn the claims of Jesus, Herod (and his soldiers with him) made sport of Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous costume, and sent Him back to Pilate. ¹² And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.
