Mark 6:17-20 For Herod himself had sent forth and took-hold of John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent forth and took-hold of John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her. ¹⁸ For John said to Herod, ‘It is not legal for you to have your brother’s wife.’ ¹⁹ But Herodias was holding it against him. And she was willing to kill him and was not able; ²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and was protecting him. And having heard him, he was doing many things, and was gladly hearing him, often.
