- But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen!"
- For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.
- For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
- Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so;
- for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; but he used to enjoy listening to him.

- 希律聽見、卻說、是我所斬的約翰、他復活了。
- 先是希律為他兄弟腓力的妻子希羅底的緣故、差人去拿住約翰、鎖在監裡.因為希律已經娶了那婦人。
- 約翰曾對希律說、你娶你兄弟的妻子是不合理的。
- 於是希羅底懷恨他、想要殺他.只是不能.
- 因為希律知道約翰是義人、是聖人、所以敬畏他、保護他.聽他講論、就多照著行.並且樂意聽他。〔多照著行有古卷作游移不定〕
