Context of Mark 6:15
13and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many infirm, and healed them. 14And Herod the king heard [of him] (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among [the] dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him. And others said, It is Elias; and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets. 16But Herod when he heard [it] said, John whom I beheaded, he it is; he is risen [from among the dead]. 17For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
