Matthew 14:1 in Context (Verses 1–4 KJV)

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
