Exegesis
The explanatory clause phaneron gar egeneto to onoma autou {φανερὸν γὰρ ἐγένετο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ | pha-ne-rón gar e-gé-ne-to to Ó-no-ma au-toû} uses gar ‘for’ to ground Herod’s hearing in the fact that “His name” had become “manifest,” with the predicate adjective phaneron placed before the verb for emphasis.
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.”
