In discussing what King Herod had heard about Jesus, in Mark 6:16-17, it says:

> But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!” For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison.

If you continue reading [verse 14 through verse 29][1], it's clear that Herod knows John is still in prison. In fact, he doesn't behead him until [verses 27-28][2]. Why would he then say he had been raised from the dead knowing he is still alive?

All I could come up with is that this sequence is not in chronological order. Are verses 14-16 the result of what happens in 16-29?
