Matthew 14:3Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,Matthew 14:4because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”Matthew 14:5Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.Matthew 14:6On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased HerodMatthew 14:7so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.Matthew 14:8Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”Matthew 14:9The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be grantedMatthew 14:10and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.Matthew 14:11John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.Mark 6:16But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”Mark 6:17For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.Mark 6:18For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”Mark 6:19So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him.

He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.Mark 6:28The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.Luke 3:1In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,Luke 9:7When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,Luke 9:9“I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.Luke 13:31At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”Luke 13:32But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’Luke 23:6When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.Luke 23:7And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.Luke 23:8When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased.

As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.Acts 4:27In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.Acts 12:1About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.Acts 12:2He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.Acts 12:3And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.Acts 12:4He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.Acts 12:5So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.Acts 12:6On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.Acts 12:7Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.Acts 12:8“Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel.

But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”Acts 12:16But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.Acts 12:17Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.Acts 12:18At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.Acts 12:19After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.Acts 12:20Now Herod was in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him.
