Contextual Overview
14 King Herod heard about Jesus because everyone was talking about Him. Some people said, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why he is doing such powerful works." 15 Other people said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is one who speaks for God like one of the early preachers." 16 When Herod heard this, he said, "It is John the Baptist, whose head I cut off. He has been raised from the dead." 17 For Herod had sent men to take John and put him into prison. He did this because of his wife, Herodias. She had been the wife of his brother Philip. 18 John the Baptist had said to Herod, "It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife." 19 Herodias became angry with him. She wanted to have John the Baptist killed but she could not. 20 Herod was afraid of John. He knew he was a good man and right with God, and he kept John from being hurt or killed. He liked to listen to John preach. But when he did, he became troubled. 21 Then Herodias found a way to have John killed. Herod gave a big supper on his birthday. He asked the leaders of the country and army captains and the leaders of Galilee to come. 22 The daughter of Herodias came in and danced before them. This made Herod and his friends happy. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you." 23 Then he made a promise to her, "Whatever you ask for, I will give it to you. I will give you even half of my nation."
