Luke 9:7-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 [a]Herod the tetrarch[b] heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying, “John has been raised from the dead”;(A) 8 others were saying, “Elijah has appeared”; still others, “One of the ancient prophets has arisen.”

- 9:7–56 This section in which Luke gathers together incidents that focus on the identity of Jesus is introduced by a question that Herod is made to ask in this gospel: “Who then is this about whom I hear such things?”(Lk 9:9) In subsequent episodes, Luke reveals to the reader various answers to Herod’s question: Jesus is one in whom God’s power is present and who provides for the needs of God’s people (Lk 9:10–17); Peter declares Jesus to be “the Messiah of God” (Lk 9:18–21); Jesus says he is the suffering Son of Man (Lk 9:22, 43–45); Jesus is the Master to be followed, even to death (Lk 9:23–27); Jesus is God’s son, his Chosen One (Lk 9:28–36).
