Matthew 14:1 Cross References - WNT

¹ About that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of 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.

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.

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.
