Exegesis
The verse opens with kai {Καὶ | kaì} ‘and’, linking this report to the preceding ministry of Jesus, and places the aorist verb ēkousen {ἤκουσεν | ḗ-kou-sen} ‘heard’ first, followed by the subject phrase ho basileus Hērōidēs {ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡρῴδης | ho ba-si-leús Hē-rṓi-dēs}, giving a typical verb–subject order.
In context — Mark 6:14
And King Herod heard of Him , for His name had become manifest, and they were saying, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead, and because of this the powers are at work in him.”
