Luke 9:9 Context
7¶ Now Herode the Tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and hee was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that Iohn was risen from the dead: 8And of some, that Elias had appeared: and of others, that one of the olde Prophets was risen againe. 9And Herode said, Iohn haue I beheaded: but who is this of whom I heare such things? And hee desired to see him. 10¶ And the Apostles when they were returned, tolde him all that they had done. And hee tooke them, and went aside priuately into a desert place, belonging to the citie called Bethsaida. 11And the people when they knew it, followed him, and he receiued them, and spake vnto them of the kingdome of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
