Mark 6:17-20

CLV(i) 17 For he, Herod, dispatches and holds John and binds him in jail, because of Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother, seeing that he marries her." 18 For John said to Herod that "It is not allowed you to have the wife of your brother." 19 Now Herodias hemmed him in, and wanted to kill him, and could not, 20 for Herod feared John, being aware that he is a just and holy man, and he preserved him. And hearing him, he was much perplexed, and heard him with relish."
