Mark 6:17-20

17For HerodG2264 himselfG846 had sentG649 men and had JohnG2491 arrestedG2902 and boundG1210 in prisonG5438 on accountG1223 of 1HerodiasG2266, the wifeG1135 of his brotherG80 PhilipG5376, becauseG3754 he had marriedG1060 her.

18For JohnG2491 had been sayingG3004 to HerodG2264, “2It is not lawfulG1832 for you to haveG2192 your brother’sG80 wifeG1135.”

19And 3HerodiasG2266 heldG1758 aG1758 grudgeG1758 againstG1758 him and wantedG2309 to putG615 him toG615 deathG615, and couldG1410 not do so;

20for 4HerodG2264 wasG5399 afraidG5399 of JohnG2491, knowingG3609 that he was a righteousG1342 and holyG40 manG435, and he had been protectingG4933 him. And when he heardG191 him, he was veryG4183 perplexedG639; and yet he 5used to enjoyG2234 listeningG191 to him.
