Luke 9:7-9

The Christ Revealed, the Cross Announced, and the Jerusalem Road Begun

Luke moves from delegated mission to growing public confusion, from wilderness provision to messianic confession, from glory on the mountain to failure below, and from Galilean ministry toward the determined road to Jerusalem.

7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
