Mark 6:18-20 For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

MSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!” ¹⁹ So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable, ²⁰ because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he did many things, and he listened to him gladly.
