Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?”
He sought to see him.
The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done.
He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
