Mark 6:15-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
15
But others were saying, 'He is Elijah.' And others were saying, '
He is
a prophet, like one of the prophets
of old.
'
16
But when Herod heard
about it,
he kept saying, 'John, whom I beheaded, has risen!'
17
For Herod himself had sent
men
and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.
18
For John had been saying to Herod, 'It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.'
19
And Herodias held a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death, and could not
do so;
20
for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he had been protecting him. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; and
yet
he used to enjoy listening to him.
21
An opportune day came when Herod, on his birthday, held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders, and the leading people of Galilee;
King James Version
Chapter 6
15
Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16
But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It 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.
18
For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
20
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
21
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
15
But others said, "He’s Elijah." Still others said, "He’s a prophet, like one of the prophets from long ago."
16
When Herod heard of it, he said, "John, the one I beheaded, has been raised!"
17
For Herod himself had given orders to arrest John and to chain him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her.
18
John had been telling Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife."
19
So Herodias held a grudge against him and wanted to kill him. But she could not,
20
because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing he was a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard him he would be very perplexed, and yet he liked to listen to him.
21
An opportune time came on his birthday, when Herod gave a banquet for his nobles, military commanders, and the leading men of Galilee.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
15
Others said, 'He’s the prophet Elijah.' Still others said, 'He’s a prophet like the other great prophets of the past.'
16
When Herod heard about Jesus, he said, 'John, the man I beheaded, has come back from the dead.'
17
For Herod had sent soldiers to arrest and imprison John as a favor to Herodias. She had been his brother Philip’s wife, but Herod had married her.
18
John had been telling Herod, 'It is against God’s law for you to marry your brother’s wife.'
19
So Herodias bore a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But without Herod’s approval she was powerless,
20
for Herod respected John; and knowing that he was a good and holy man, he protected him. Herod was greatly disturbed whenever he talked with John, but even so, he liked to listen to him.
21
Herodias’s chance finally came on Herod’s birthday. He gave a party for his high government officials, army officers, and the leading citizens of Galilee.

15
But others said, "He is Elijah." And others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."
16
But when Herod heard of it, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."
17
For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip 's wife, because he had married her.
18
For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother 's wife."
19
And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not,
20
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly.
21
But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
New International Version
Chapter 6
15
Others said, "He is Elijah." And still others claimed, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago."
16
But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!"
17
For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.
18
For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife."
19
So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to,
20
because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled ; yet he liked to listen to him.
21
Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

18
Because John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19
Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not;
20
for Herod feared John, knowing that he
was
a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
21
Then an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief
men
of Galilee.
