15. Others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is the prophet or one of the prophets.
16. But when Herod heard of it, he said, This is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
17. For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.

20. for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and respected him; and when he heard him, he did many things and heard him gladly.
