But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: / And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, / Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
