Discovery BoxMark 6:14 
Context6:14 Now 1 King Herod 2 heard this, for Jesus’ 3 name had become known. Some 4 were saying, “John the baptizer 5 has been raised from the dead, and because of this, miraculous powers are at work in him.”
Mark 16:6
Context16:6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. 6 He has been raised! 7 He is not here. Look, there is the place where they laid him.
1 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
2 sn Herod was technically not a king, but a tetrarch, a ruler with rank and authority lower than a king. A tetrarch ruled only with the approval of the Roman authorities. This was roughly equivalent to being governor of a region. In the NT, Herod, who ruled over Galilee, is called a king (Matt 14:9, Mark 6:14-29), reflecting popular usage rather than an official title.
3 tn Grk “his”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
5 tn While Matthew and Luke consistently use the noun βαπτίστης (baptisths, “the Baptist”) to refer to John, as a kind of a title, Mark prefers the substantival participle ὁ βαπτίζων (Jo baptizwn, “the one who baptizes, the baptizer”) to describe him (only twice does he use the noun [Mark 6:25; 8:28]).
6 sn See the note on Crucify in 15:13.
7 tn The verb here is passive (ἠγέρθη, hgerqh). This “divine passive” (see ExSyn 437-38) points to the fact that Jesus was raised by God.
