- 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〕

- But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!"
- For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.
- For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
- So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to,
- because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him.
