Matthew 14:1-5

1 1 2At that timeG2540 3 4HerodG2264 5the tetrarchG5068 heardG191 the newsG189 about JesusG2424, 2and saidG3004 to his servantsG3816, “6ThisG3778 is JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; he himself has been raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, and that is whyG1223 miraculousG1411 powersG1411 are at workG1754 in him.”

3For when 7HerodG2264 had JohnG2491 arrestedG2902, he boundG1210 him and putG659 him 8in prisonG5438 becauseG1223 of 9HerodiasG2266, the wifeG1135 of his brotherG80 PhilipG5376. 4For JohnG2491 had been sayingG3004 to him, “10It is not lawfulG1832 for you to haveG2192 her.” 5Although Herod wantedG2309 to putG615 him toG615 deathG615, he fearedG5399 the crowdG3793, becauseG3754 they regardedG2192 11JohnG846 as 12a prophetG4396.
