Context of Luke 9:8

6And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere. 7And 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, and 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. 10And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into [a desert place of] a city called Bethsaida.
