Matthew 24:10

24:10 Then many will be led into sin, ¹  and they will betray one another and hate one another.

Mark 6:16

6:16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised!”

Mark 6:27

6:27 So ²  the king sent an executioner at once to bring John’s ³  head, and he went and beheaded John in prison.

Luke 9:9

9:9 Herod said, “I had John ⁴  beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus. ⁵ 

[24:10]  ¹ tn Or “many will fall away.” This could also refer to apostasy.

[6:27]  ² tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[6:27]  ³ tn Grk “his”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “John I beheaded”; John’s name is in emphatic position in the Greek text. The verb is causative, since Herod would not have personally carried out the execution.

[9:9]  ⁵ tn The expression ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν αὐτόν (ezhtei idein auton, “was seeking to see him”) probably indicates that Herod, for curiosity’s sake or more likely for evil purposes, wanted to get to know Jesus, i.e., who he was and what he was doing. See I. H. Marshall, Luke (NIGTC), 357. Herod finally got his wish in Luke 23:6-12, with inconclusive results from his point of view.
