Context of Luke 9:7

5And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them. 6And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere. And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done [by him], and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among [the] dead, 8and by some that Elias had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9And Herod said, John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? and he sought to see him.
