Matthew 14:1-2

Herod's soldiers kill John the Baptist

1 At that time, people told Herod about the things that Jesus was doing. 2 Herod said to his servants, ‘That man Jesus is really John the Baptist. John died but he has become alive again. That is the reason why this man can do these very powerful things.’

14:1Herod was the ruler in one of the four parts of Israel at that time.
